A new year
not a new me
but a me who has become more me than I was last year
I look in the mirror and feel
I have worked my whole life to become who I am now
the confidence that comes from grey hair
and no longer having eyes tracking every movement of my butt
the power that comes from wisdom
and learning to rely on my own "Mommy Magic"
feeling the power of "Mommy Magic" fill my being
and burst out of every pore
Learning that management is the balance of working for what is best for each in your circle
while maintaining the integrity of that circle
Understanding that the physical is only a partial representational of the spiritual
And that life is about loving those you are with
and choosing to be with those you love
that things can exist simultaneously in states of "this is all-important" and "this has no real importance, even if its due tomorrow" and choosing which one you will act on
and no matter how patient you are trying to be, a toddler in your care 24/7 does occasionally need to be yelled at.
