Well, yesterday Liam turned officially 6 months. A whole half a year gone already. I can't believe how fast its going and how quickly he is changing from a tiny baby into a little boy. In some ways I am so excited to see how he changes even more in the last half of his first year and the rest of me wants to cling to the idea he will be my little boy forever. A reality I know does not exist since I now spend my days watching my oldest turn into a man at 14. Every day Liam gets older makes me want one more baby. It's weird how inside you can just feel there is another person waiting to be born. Like your job is not complete and there is this perfect tiny soul connected to you that needs your help to bring them into, or back into, this world again. I sometimes wonder however, if I will ever feel like I am 'done' or if I have one more baby I will just want one more? Do we ever reach a time when we know in our hearts we have completely our selves, our families? I do know though that I feel so excited and encouraged to see what the future holds for our family. With two sons who will soon to be making their way into the world I hold my breath. With another who at the same takes my breath away with how wonderful he makes me life I have so much to be thankful for. I have no sickness, I have no poverty, I have no sadness for this time in my life. And although my life has not been an easy one I feel like for one moment I have a level of happiness and contentment I have not felt perhaps ever. I have a wonderful, if not challenging (in good ways!) partner, three incredible children who are a blessing every day. So I say Happy Thanksgiving, I am honestly and truly thankful on this day.
So to anyone reading this I know that it might not be thanksgiving for you today, but I encourage you to take a moment and think on those things in your life that bring you joy. We have such a small and fleeting time in each life to hold those dear to us.
Warm thoughts and much love on this beautiful Autumn Day, Thanksgiving or not!
