So Few Moments and So Much to Give August 22, 2008

There are so few moments to sleep with a little one. Yesterday and today I did not get to nap during the day. This does happen but two days in a row with little sleep at night is rough. I have been rushing around catching up on chores since Billy got home from work. I feel so ragged. It could be worse though. Really I am thankful for my life, challenging as it it right now.

I am still dealing with the Baby Blues / Postpartum Depression. Today I listened to a speaker that Oprah interviewed on a podcast about Tao. I don’t have any specifics to say about it but I do want to say that it made me realise that I can give so much. Well, not so much now but as much as I CAN give now, I will give. Basically, I have decided that whenever possible I will practice “opposite thinking” and the art of giving so that my issues wont engulf me and suck me down into gloom and doom. So I am cooking up a plan for a meeting of sorts for new moms that will be all about supporting, comradre, and learning. I have already been bringing moms I meet together and that feels nice. And, I share info I have gleaned and they share with me. I want to keep doing this and also make it more organized. Perhaps it will be a weekly meeting with revolving focuses. One week could be me teaching bellydance, another could be a infanct CPR class, etc etc… Anyway, I like this idea. This is just what I would want to participate it, so, why not be the person to inspire and organise it?
