Devotion

I've forgotten lately what it's like to be a separate person.

My thoughts, actions and physical well-being are so consumed by living and breathing children that I can count on two hands the number of minutes I have each day to devote to nurturing my self.

It's ridiculous, really, but I know this is a season and as soon as I get that time back for myself, moments like these will also be a thing of the past.

  1. That photo is a treasure!

    I have been especially loving your posts since your littlest man was born: each one reflects what I've been feeling and going through since #3 arrived in our house, that blend of pandemonium and being overwhelmed -but also astonishingly blessed- all at the same time.

  2. Oh, thank you for reading these posts and sharing your thoughts, Lenae. Pandemonium is a great word to describe this life. It's certainly that and that's been surprising to me.

    What a sassy new haircut you have. I like it a lot!

  3. beautiful picture that captures so much. More kids is crazier, but I wouldn't trade it either for the abundance of love!
