Life, it's bigger than this blog.

My blog is about me.  It's about me thinking about motherhood, my career, my life, my loves, my gains, my losses.  It all gets very knotted together when you have children, or at least it did for me.  There's a lot about my children here, my thoughts about them, my processing of their childhood and my parenthood.  Of course one day they may enjoy looking back, but I won't mind if they are too busy being in the now.  Now is a very good place to be.

This picture was taken when I had a whole roomful of baby clutter ready to go to charity and I felt like it was coming down on my head. Whenever something occupies my mind and makes me think, in a good or a bad way, blogging helps me tidy it up.

My blog is about me, but I write as part of a community.  I'm not the first and I won't be the last to think about parenthood and I know we all have different experiences.  I try to think before I speak, write to be read and even when things are tough, offer rays of hope.    Sometimes the editor fails to spot things of course, at which point she gives herself a good telling off.

Life is bigger. It's bigger than you. And you are not me. The lengths that I will go to. The distance in your eyes. Oh no I've said too much ...
