Growing together

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about how they say your child picks you. When I look at myself now I feel like I have grown by leaps and bounds since I've had my child. I look at my life prior to baby and though it was much easier, it certainly wasn't as "full."

In having my child, I've had to do a lot of self reflecting in order to be a better person for her. And sometimes, I really do wonder, "Who is the teacher here?" My child...she just has so much love for me. And on days when I'm not feeling like she's doing what I'd like her to be doing. She responds with a big hug. She always has a hug for me and that just feels so nice. I really feel blessed.

I wonder if she picked her father too because he is really good for me too. I see that in so many great couples. They just work!

It's Not You, It's Me...

Those words often relate to a relationship that's gone south, right? Either the guy or the girl says it to the other to get out of the relationship because for some reason or other, it's just not working and to spare the other person's feelings, you put the blame on yourself and not the other.
