Thoughtful thoughts (from someone else)

I just read the most perfect blog post. This most wonderful post. One that is floating around on Facebook all over the place. I am thankful for John's Facebook page and for the fact that I have not listened to my own plan to stop reading posts there every 10 min.

It's a blog post that I hope will change the way I feel about my parenting from here on out. That will change the way I look at my interactions with my children daily and minutely. It says a lot of stuff that I feel often and that  I have been feeling to the core lately. I love the way it takes what was in my own mind and makes it better. How did this lady know what I was thinking? How did she know that I needed a new start this year? It is just amazing...and well, I guess it's also just what all moms think and feel on a regular basis. But still awesome!

Read it if you so desire. I think I'll be heading back to this blog often. She seems like a smart cookie, and she writes really well. Personally, I plan to stop carpe-dieming all over my life...to stop feeling guilty for not loving every minute of every day but to be intentional in enjoying the really really good stuff.
