. . . When spending New Years Eve at home with your mom isn’t devestating (But still a little lonely)
. . . When you have to accept your “good enough” even though you know your going to be better.
. . . When I face the fact that I will never give birth, but that I’m still a mother.
. . . When you realize being single has it’s advantages when you can go buy a new red purse just because you feel like it and you don’t have to justify it to anyone.
. . . When I realize I’m really a grown-up because I clean up messes made by other people (physical and emotional ones)
. . . When you don’t care that you have jumped to 1st to 3rd person all in the same blog entry.
. . . When you acknowledge that everything in life doesn’t seem fair, but in reality it is because God has given you all the tools you need to succeed.
. . . When you have to admit God really has given you more than your share of blessings.
. . . When you realize that with the Lord you really can get through anything.

BTW giving birth not really all its cracked up to be lots of pain, loss of sleep, 20+ years of wondering if you could make anymore mistakes raising that little bundle of joy you wanted ;o)
