I want desperately to escape this funk that has so interrrupted my life. I want to embrace the long days of lonely motherhood with a new attitude. I also want to find a remedy for the circumstances that brought about this funk....
I need to stop complaining and being lazy. I need to find joy in sweeping the floor ten thousand times a day, or picking up cracker crumbs and legos. I need to give thanks.
So, here's to giving thanks today for this precious life that I have been given to raise. I may not always feel excited about the day to day tasks that being a mother brings, but I know that this is far too valuable to ever wish away.
Amen! I think maybe you should write a Mother's Prayer for all of us.
