I too often feel guilty for not fully appreciating 'the moment' when sometimes the moment is only so great in hindsight. I want to enjoy those moments when I can but also realize sometimes it's just hard!<br /><br />And Kimberly, I loved your comment - "It is like having a newborn who also runs around and plays with knives." It made me laugh a lot. And I needed to laugh!Ruvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09660297954880796178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354869131367567263.post-81763569098777969812011-04-18T22:08:44.037-07:002011-04-18T22:08:44.037-07:00I have been in that chair.

Not that the others aren't great-- they are!-- and very important, but the language in this one is perfect. I love the descriptiveness, and I think I will add "grode" and "gritchy" into my everyday vocabulary. Plus, everything in it is true. Very, very, heartrendingly true.Mama Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08554633560302397335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354869131367567263.post-47143574479087058772011-04-14T17:13:57.917-07:002011-04-14T17:13:57.917-07:00This is the best thing that has ever been written....This is the best thing that has ever been written.
