Before kids, I felt as if I were searching for something that inspired and challenged me. Something I was so enthusiastic about that any fears of looking silly or not succeding became unimportant. I took different classes in college. Attempted different career paths. Pursued hobbies.
The thing that I have found the most enthusiasm for is being a parent. I LOVE being a parent. It is the most satisfying thing I have ever attempted. Guiding four people into this world has tested me, frustrated me and given me a greater pleasure than anything I could ever anticipated.
This period in my life is fleeting. My little ones are growing and changing rapidly. I watch and learn from them. They follow their instincts. They are enthusiastic about learning whether it is learning to walk, ride a bike or any of the millions of other things they wish to master. They fall and get right back up. They seek answers to their questions. They have given me a gift. To find a passion and pursue it uninhibited.
Have an inspired day!
