I've learned

Omar Wahington wrote an essay titled....."I've learned" He writes about all the things in life that we never want to learn for example he says,"I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them. The point to me telling you this is that 2 1/2 weeks ago I became a mother for the first time and at thirty years old I've learned more in these 2 1/2 weeks than I have my whole life.

Being a "New" Mom has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Let's put aside the feedings, changing diapers, NO sleep,and belly aches and look at the really hard stuff like loving a person like you have never loved before I mean really with all of your heart. You think that would be the best feeling ever which it is but at the same time it is the scarest feeling ever! And what about the feeling you get when you think there is something wrong with your baby that fear inside of you is the worst feeling ever and let's not forget the feeling you get the minute you think about what would you do if anything ever happened to my baby...I hate that one! These are all the things I've learned in just 2 1/2 short weeks....OVERLOAD

I know this is only the begining of a very long journey for me but I think I am up for the ride. Although we are all going to be faced with lessons we would rather not learn I think along the way there will be lessons that we do learn that we would never give up the world for. So I think the next time I am faced with a lesson I would like to skip over I'm gonna try and remember that shortly down the road I will learn something I will want to hang onto for a lifetime.

Until next time.....KEEP BLOGGING
