I’m just a mum.
That is all I am doing with my ‘wild and precious life’.
But it is enough.
Even when I want to do things, learn things, create things…
Even when I dream of being somewhere else, or someone else…
Even when I have to say no to things I want to do, or put off big ideas until someday…
Even then, it is still enough.
Even though, sometimes it doesn’t feel like enough, it is still enough.
For now.
What will your do with your one wild and precious life?
Lovely post, Kate. I relate to this feeling well… dreaming of being somewhere or someone else, putting off ideas and saying no to things… Thanks for the reminder that this is enough.
I love being a Mother. But being a Mother has opened my eyes to the situation of mothers and families around the world. I feel as though now I know, I cant not do something about it. So with my one life I will raise my three precious children, and I will fight for the rights of mothers and children around the world doing all I can to see that they have the same chances as my children have because there is no difference between them and me, we are all the same. Mothers the world over are the same, our hearts beat with the same love and dreams for our kids and I want to be a voice for them as for the moment they have lost theirs.
Being a mother is a full-time life position :)
And anyway, you’re not just a mom, you’re a dedicated mom, a wife, a daughter, a creative blogger, an inspired cook, an adventurous gardener, a thoughtful educator, etc, etc !
