I hope everyone had a fabulous Mother’s day!
The majority of the time it’s difficult for me to put into words what I feel. I think and rethink what I’m going to vocalize so many times over in my head before I actually say it that by the time I do,I’m not sure I believe my own words anymore. Writing allows me to verbalize without vocalizing. It makes it easier to process,makes it easier to edit myself if need be. Lately,writing has been a chore rather than an outlet. Even with my written words,I feel like I’m trapped by what I want to say. I don’t like this feeling –I miss having it as a release. It’s hard to imagine that 8 months ago,you were just a little baby lump. Now you’re crawling,cutting teeth like crazy and having little baby godzilla rampages. You’re so strong,constantly pulling yourself up on anything your little fingers can grasp. The cats are no longer safe and you having a growing interest in pulling their tails,along with Bessa pups ears. You’re such a happy baby,thankfully THAT is not something that has changed in the last 8 months. You smile so big! Soon you’ll be walking and taking on the world,but I’ll be right beside you to guide you along the way. Mama loves you baby girl.
Breast feeding is a human right that is protected by law. Even in public. Breast feeding in public has been an “issue”for some time. There are some that are completely for it,some that are completely against it,and some that toe the line in between. The bottom line is this –if a child is hungry,they need to eat. Whether that be in public or not. When did our society become anti-children? When did our society decide that breast feeding is appalling or out of the norm? I suppose for some it’s hard to imagine a time before formula was available. Note that since the existence of human beings,breast feeding has been around. It is THE best for a baby. Human babies need human milk. Do you eat with a blanket over your head in a restaurant? Would you eat a cheeseburger in a disgusting public restroom? I’m fairly certain that anyone with a half a brain would answer no to the above questions. That being said,why would you expect a child to? Breast feeding is not shameful. Our society thrives off of sexual exploitations. Porn,naked women (or partially) in advertising,bikinis that barely cover anything. Yet seeing a woman feeding her child causes an outrage? Our society is broken. You see less of a woman’s skin while she’s feeding her child than you do from someone in a string bikini. It’s time to put a stop to the derogatory comments. It’s time to put a stop to the labeling of breast feeding mothers. We are not disgusting. We are not shameful. Note:did you know that breast feeding REDUCES the risk for breast cancer?  thirty two.  thirty three.  thirty four.  thirty five.  twenty six.  twenty seven.  twenty eight.  twenty nine.  thirty.  thirty one. A month in pictures, A lifetime of memories.
Growth is only true growth if it has not been a “growth”that has taken place previously. Cycles. When your life revolves in a cycle,it’s not “growth”,it’s a pattern. A pattern that clearly isn’t working. 3 month patterns –finding religion and/or faith,being all about their family,pushing others out,becoming passive aggressive and attacking towards others beliefs and views,beginning to resent their family and their spouse,fully resenting their spouse,looking for attention else where than their spouse,partying,“changing”their outlook on life,only to start back at the beginning all over again. Patterns. If you find that your patterns clearly aren’t working for you,cause they clearly haven’t been for the last few years,maybe it’s time to find new patterns. |       | |
