I remember when I had the realization that my parenting path was not going to be linear -- that it was more of a spiral, two steps forward one step back, swirling into new scenery type of journey. My firstborn was just a few months old at that time, but that hasn't kept me from having the same exact realization about 1000 times since then! (He's now six with a three-year-old brother.) Sometimes I wish I knew all this stuff about mindfulness and awareness before kids, but then again, I tell myself, there is no better time than now. Blessings, Stacy Hi,

Mindfulness is what we've discovered over here too. Our life will just never be as organized as we want it no matter what! And once I get one thing done there's always 20 other things vying for my time... Being present is so hard to do but worth it! Great post! You are absolutely right.
