Wow

I was just reading back on the posts I have written....I have grown and changed so much.

Its amazing to think you can have such strong convictions for them only to change. They changed because of the people I met, the books I have read, the things I have seen and the love I have felt. I still feel strongly about certain things but know how to word them better and be a little more open and understanding of others.

A big lesson is parenting. My boys have pushed all my buttons this week and continue to push them. I would have judged a mum for yelling at her kids but until you are in that situation you have no idea how you will react. Yes I have yelled at my boys, maybe a little too much, and its something I am trying to deal with and change. But now when I see mum struggling I don't make a quick  judgment I put myself in her shoes and give her a chance. Same goes for how they choose to parent. I am still a big believer in attachment parenting and will practice this again and still do. But I try not to invest so many feelings into how another family wish to raise their baby. If asked I would give them gentle advice but at the end of the day people will do what they want. you can only hope that once they know better they will do better.

So my "journey" has been a long hard road and I will continue along it for a long time with many bumps and cracks but many fun smooth times too.

Its nice to have you along for the ride :)

Ps. I finally managed to remove a popcorn kernel from my tooth toni9ght and its such a relief! Sorry just had to tell someone :P
