Just One of Those Days

Today I've been so pensive.
Just thinking a lot.
I don't really like
thinking as much as I do sometimes.
But I go through seasons.
I think a lot, and then I chill out.
So the topic of conversation between B and I
on the way to the grocery store today was...
What do we want for our children.
Biggy B said, "He wanted them to be thinkers."
Funny, because I thinking
I hate when I think too much.
I said, "I just want to be around for them."
Sad, because I just looked at the
calendar and realized it was my mom's birthday.
It is odd that even if
I don't know the date-
my subconscious knows.
Sometimes I feel like my pain will be redeemed
only if I die after my children.
Not having my mom around is not the worse
thing in the world, don't get me wrong,
I am so blessed with wonderful women around me...
I'm just having one of those days.

Aw, Lesley, you are such a sweetheart! I am saying a prayer for you today and the thoughts you have on a daily basis. It is incredibly hard to focus on the blessings in our life instead of lamenting over the painful and heartbreaking things. Satan loves to hang those over our head and make us distracted!! You are such a great person (especially as a mom!), and I love reading about the sweet stories that go on in your family. I am always here if you need someone to "think" with! I do that too much too! ;) Hugs to you!
