Sometimes I Forget to Remember

Sometimes I forget to remember to breathe.  To take the time to stop and gather my thoughts.  To look at what is where and what needs to be done.

Sometimes I forget to remember that my children are only little and they need deserve the patience of a saint.  There is so much for them to learn, so much for them to know.  Societies accepted norms, trends, beliefs and expectations
    Sometimes I forget to remember that there are lots of people who love and care for me.  People who have stood by me for a very long time, despite my unintentional attempts at shutting them out.  As well as some newbies that have shown they are interested in the test of time.
      Sometimes I forget to remember that there was once a time when I wasn't a mother.  In fact I wasn't lots of things then that I am now.  Shy. Reserved.  Totally about to hit it big in the world of blogging. (I have always been full of confidence a dreamer)

      Sometimes I forget to remember that this is the life that I want to live.  It has all that I need and a whole lot more.  It has the potential to be what ever I want it to be.  I just need to put in the effort.

      Sometimes I forget to remember to tell those close to me just how special they are and what they mean to me.  The whole emotion thing gets a bit tricky for me at times.  I don't know why.  I can't help but wonder if that is why I the whole friend thing doesn't seem to work so well for me.  Life is not one sided.

      Sometimes I forget to remember to trust in the powers that be.  They have worked well for me in the past and I am sure they will continue to do so in the future, I just need to believe.

      Sometimes I forget to remember to ask for help when I need it.  Or take it when it is freely offered.  Accepting, or needing help is not a sign of weakness.  Help is a wonderful thing.  It makes things better for those being helped as well as leaving those offering with a rather good feeling.

      Sometimes I forget to remember just how much I know.  While I might not have a fancy degree I have actually spent quite a bit of time studying various subjects.  Stuff like sociology, marketing, accounting, psychology.  Stuff that is at times a little handy for this whole mothering gig.

      Sometimes I forget to remember just how much I don't know.  There is so much that I need to go and discover.  So much to learn, share and discover.  And this I must remember to never forget.

        I was nodding along with you - especially - Sometimes I forget to remember to tell those close to me just how special they are and what they mean to me.
        Thanks I needed to remember that.

      7. Really true, my hubby and I often remind each other of the boys ages, and that we expect too much from them and to take it back a few notches.

      9. Oh I hadn't seen this post before, I wasn't reading you back then, so thanks for sharing it again today! I'm terrible at remembering these things too. I'm shocking at remembering to accept help. I need to work on this. And at remembering to enjoy where we are right now, instead of planning where I would rather be (because the grass is always greener)....

      10. I adore this post, it sounds so much of how I think. Especially the parts about having patience and how much stuff I actually know and asking for help. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to reading more next year. Emily :)

      11. I could have written this myself Rhianna - I sometimes forget this is the life I wanted, with a husband and kids and a home to look after. And I do want it, I just need to be more appreciative and thankful for everything I have. Hope you've had a lovely Xmas and looking forward to reading more of your adventures in the New Year!
