With new beginnings also comes 'end of eras...'
The end of one year and all of it's struggles, defeats, blessings, heartbreaks, triumphs...
The end of the old me, and making promises to myself to be a better mom, to lose the baby weight (mind you, my daughter will be 2 in a few months!), to buy a house, to become more organized...the list goes on. The end of breastfeeding my babe after 20 months (so bittersweet)...
The new beginnings...the hope of the future. I always have lists upon lists going but rarely seem like I can finish one in its entirety. It's definitely something I am working towards becoming better at...call it a New Year's resolution if you want. On the flip side, I find myself holding onto the past...robbing me of all of today's joys. I think it is something all moms do to an extent...wishing our babies small again, longing for them to need us again. I urge all mamas, myself included, to embrace the end of eras and look towards each new day with a fresh perspective and the goal of always being better than yesterday.
What are things that you are looking forward to this year? What are your 'end of eras?'
Hope everyone is having a great start to 2015!
