Thankful for Who I Am

by

Happy Thursday everyone!

Today’s Thankful Thursday post is based on a writing prompt from Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop…

Today I’m thankful for who I am.  As I’ve said before, I never imagined myself as a SAHM… I didn’t wind  up where I thought I’d be; there’s been bumps along the way, but I am so glad I’ve found myself where I truly belong.

Thankful for Who I Am 

 

I am a stay at home mom of 2.
I wonder what the future holds.
I hear graduation cheers and a silent house.
I see a future doctor or veterinarian and a class clown.
I want to keep them little forever.

I am a stay at home mom of 2.
I pretend to know what I’m doing.
I feel more love than I knew was possible.
I touch soft blonde curls and kiss pink cheeks.
I worry I’m not doing enough, that I’ll say the wrong things.
I cry on the days where I feel we fought all day.

I am a stay at home mom of 2.
I understand that they grow up way too fast.
I say, “I love you,” and hope they know it’s true.
I dream of bright futures and beautiful smiles.
I try to hold on to every moment, every memory.
I hope one day they will get to feel this love I have inside for them.

  1. I’m a stay at home mom of two, or I was. My kids are both in college now but home for the summer. It goes so fast. Cherish every moment, and it sounds like you are. A lovely poem.

  2. I always love your thankful posts. They make me look at my life, week, day, minute differently. They remind me to keep my happy and let the bad stuff go. I am thankful for your posts reminding me to do so!
    Have a great weekend!!

    • Thank you so much!
      Writing them each week helps me see things differently, and I really hope my posts help my readers take a moment and “let the bad stuff go”, as you said.

  3. This was a really cute post. I’m following up on your comment you left at “Minnesota Girl in LA” and thought I’d take the time to check out your blog. I hope it’s been a good Friday for you since it’s that in my world now.

    • Oh, if I could bottle this time and keep it forever! 🙂 (Yes, there are those day that seem like they go on forever, but I know one day I’ll miss all this!)

  5. I loved this post. Your words were inspiring and so full of thankfulness. I spent a great deal of time home with my son, and I am grateful for every minute of it.
