Beautiful porch morning. I can feel and smell fall in the air. Cool breeze, I could nap right here.
The changing of the seasons can be subtle or abrupt. One day is bright and sunny, the next may have snow on the ground.
My seasons have been like this also.
Childhood was an abrupt change to motherhood, a season that lingers all through life. A favorite season of mine but most difficult. A season of learning, mistakes, joy, Pride, heartache, laughing, crying, wonder, worry, determination, sleepless nights, confusion, the list goes on.
Motherhood is a permanent season. It doesn’t end when you have an empty nest. We worry about our adult children, lose sleep, cry and pray every day that you taught them everything they need to make a good life.
No matter how successful they become, you are mom. Its your job to worry, applaud, smile and be there.
You are always that human “Google “, Dr. Phil, and “call a friend” hotline.
The easiest part of motherhood is just being there. The hardest is not being able to “fix” all their problems.
Then the season changes again, this time to a silver season.
Grandbabies.
Your children’s motherhood or fatherhood season. Where you sit back and watch the learning, mistakes, joy, pride, heartache, laughs, tears…..you get it.
I’m enjoying this season of life. When this one changes, I hope its subtle and takes it’s time. I want to enjoy the cool breeze and clean air. I want it to linger as long as possible.
Enjoy the season you are in, it will change.
