It is a rare occasion that I am up before my husband but today he is having a much needed sleep-in so I find myself the only one up, enjoying my morning coffee and catching up on my emails and the few blogs that I follow. One message told me it was time for me to blog again.
Now blogging is not something you can force. The mood has to strike you; something has to suddenly pop into your head that needs to be said. Trying to force a blog would just cause a huge writer's block.
So, I thought "Hmmm, I have no idea what to blog about today; don't think it's gonna happen".
But then, I read my beautiful daughter's latest blog. I guess she's been in the blogging mood a lot lately as she's had quite a few recent posts. They are always such a delight to read. Sometimes she goes months without blogging and I sadly log on to see that there is nothing new to read.
Today, I was not disappointed. She had a new blog to entertain me on my lazy Sunday morning. Today I marvel at this person who is my offspring. Today, as all days, I am so proud of this person and although I helped raise her, I can't take any credit for some of this "amazingness" that is her.
I marvel at her insight and maturity at the tender age of 19. It makes me wonder just how much more awesome she can become as she matures even more. I marvel at her connectedness with nature and her appreciation for the great outdoors. I marvel at her independence and strength; her kindness and caring. I marvel at her gift for writing. She has the ability to string words together to sound like music for the soul. I marvel that this person is my offspring.
Today I marvel at how just the act of giving birth can cause you so much pride.
Today I am a very proud Momma. Luv you gurl!
