Writing these "letters" has helped me to process life as a new mother, remain thankful, and come awake to the little moments that make this pretty challenging season simply wonderful.

Day 8...Flexibility

I didn’t get to write again last night.  Another lesson to learn:  flexibility.  As a parent, it’s just key to your survival.  Never have your plans in mind so much that when they get changed you fall apart.  Daddy had a movie in.  I wanted to settle in and do some writing (and writing to you!)  and Titus is sick in bed, crying every few minutes.  We had to keep getting up, until finally we had no choice but to bring him into the bed with us.  He is a miserable baby right now.  Raw face from the runny nose.  Cranky and restless.  Just pitiful.  It’s been helpful for me to stay in “ready for anything” mode.  Be at peace and go with your plans, but always remember they could change on a moment’s notice.  It’s definitely a life of sacrifice being a parent.
