DISILLUSIONED.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s how I\u2019ve felt in life lately, like motherhood and the inconveniences and the events on the agenda are quicksand, and I am trying to wade through as fast as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tired.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m tired of living like this – like my life\u2019s purpose is fighting to free myself from the mucky sand that\u2019s entrapped me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guilty.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m guilty of reacting so poorly in it – snapping and yelling and holding onto bitterness – like it\u2019ll make me feel better or justified in my misery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quicksand.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I do think that this little life, this season of it at least, might actually be a little like quicksand, but I\u2019m approaching it the wrong way.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research says that if you find yourself stuck in quicksand, the best idea is to actually lean back into it so that the weight of your body is distributed over a wider area.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to take their advice and lean into it. I\u2019m going to trust that embracing the slowness and the messiness and the overstimulation won\u2019t overtake me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That floating through it is the only way out, and my perspective is the difference between sinking and floating.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And maybe being bogged down in this little life, for this little season, is a hard blessing and won\u2019t last forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m allowing myself to become enchanted with my little life again, mess and all.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because I\u2019m positive one day I\u2019ll be begging to jump back into the muddy puddle just to taste their little slobbery kisses and squeeze their pudgy toes and hear their little voices yell MAMA once again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And until then, if you\u2019re in the quicksand, remember – you\u2019re not alone. I\u2019m trying to float right next to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
