I want all of this, too. Is there room for all that wanting, and still to be present (a practice I've drifted from and find myself coming home to lately)? <BR/><BR/>Thanks, Shawn.jena stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04100001628157963179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696496724271056053.post-32804300922193073192008-05-15T16:16:00.000-07:002008-05-15T16:16:00.000-07:00Hmmmm, yes.

It is a hard thing...we all want to be superwoman... <BR/><BR/>It is a hard thing wanting to do it all and have it all but sometimes something has to give to fit it all into the day, week, year. <BR/><BR/>the hardest thing is when your girls become women themselves and want to do their own things, things you hadn't really planned in your head that they would do, have friends that you are not sure of, want to live far far away to do some degree in something that is completely foreign to you. <BR/><BR/>The hardest thing I guess is when your children start taking control of their own lives... a wonderful thing to watch but so very hard on the heart. <BR/><BR/>I love the picture of you, so pretty with all the falling blossoms, we have dead leaves everywhere at the moment. <BR/><BR/>KatherineSleepandhersistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919534998293152439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696496724271056053.post-7077175802813828272008-05-15T13:26:00.000-07:002008-05-15T13:26:00.000-07:00I feel the exact same way.
