I have not been here for a while, I know... it is not that I don’t know what to write – it’s that there is so much that I want to share that I don’t really know where to start!!
My life lately has been filled with many moments of ‘little-happening-moments’ of love, laughter, learning and loveliness ... I wish you could see into my mind and experience what I feel when I’m trying to capture all the ‘little-happenings’ into words... (let me just say that the backspace is working well tonight)
You know that life, in the end, is about all the little moments of everyday ‘happenings’ and learning to make something of them.
The inner me was asking a lot of questions lately .. well, more than usual...
Questioning is good – it forces me to stand back and take a look, to act on that what I feel is the right things for me and my family... But somewhere between the questions and the actions I realized that the answers aren’t that important ... I am where I am supposed to be ... I am a wife, I am a mom, and I am happy being just that!
So, I decided that being a working mom is not for me and I am blessed that I can choose this.
I am blessed to have a supportive husband. I am blessed to have kids who love having me helping them with homework. I am blessed to have the time to be at my son’s cricket match. I am blessed to be here when my daughter wants to play “make-ups”.
A good lesson which was also a huge blessing!!
I am overwhelmed with gratitude – and a feeling of “I am right where I am supposed to be”
I think Kelle Hampton said it best in one of her blogposts: “Because where I am feels good. I am learning. I am striving to be more. I am loving, and that alone makes me happy.
(If you have not been to her blog yet – you should! It is like she is putting the words to my soul’s inner voice! { see 'Blogs that I luv' - Enjoying the small things } I really do enjoy her writing style, her photography and the fact that it feels like I’ve known her for a lifetime – yet never met her!
Anyway, my list of latest little-happy-happenings are foremost the time we’ve spend as a family enjoying everything from school cricket matches, riding bicycles to camping and milking cows... But all this I will elaborate on in the next post ...which will be soon, I promise!
For now I will say goodnight and leave you with a picture of one of my favourite local artist's paintings - (Hannlie Kotze) I just love her work!!
