After two plus years away from the corporate world, it does seem like we belong to a different world, especially as I walk through Central and seeing people rushing in their high power suits and beautiful three inch heels. Parts of me miss the look of work, but honestly I don't really miss the content of what I spent hours of life doing while I was working. On the contrary, I am quite happily content with my role as a mother and wife and taking care of the "little" things in life, like making dinner, reading to Jack-Jack, or even changing Veronique's diaper. When people ask me what we do nowadays, I guess my only answer would be "spending time with family", and never did I really understood the weight of these words until today.
I never thought that I would say that being a mother was a true calling that I am settled into. Even though I am still probably not the perfect mother but I have never felt more content, and settled, ever, in my life until today. I love the fact that I am spending 24/7 with the people I love the most in the my life, and I almost don't have time for anything else that can't compete in terms of level of fulfillment. Of course there are the usual ups and downs in life, but overall I thank God for the blessings we receive everyday. Being with family, the family we created, is truly amazing. Seeing your kids grow, every day, into this little person with thoughts and character, is truly special.
This year will be a busy year filled with trips to see family and friends before our final move into NZ. It seems that progress of life is now measured in months and seems to slip by so ever quickly. I am just breathing it in, inhaling the sweetness of, my family.
