Someone
I wanted to be someone great and grand in this life
I wanted to do something everlasting
I wanted to leave an impact on this earth
And be remembered for something
The struggle that I feel within
Crying to the Lord to help me
Find my joy in a mundane life
Is inexplicably hard to bear at times
I know that I’m a mother
Isn’t that the grandest title one can hold
I know it but at times I just don’t care
Until I hold my children close to me
And see the joy in their eyes
Reflecting me
And then I realize I am
Someone.

So of course, after thinking about the 5 Browns and the wonderful experiences they’ve had and what they’ve done with their lives, (see Casting Pearls post) I had to have my big “I’m a failure” cry. And the resulting thoughts are posted above. Ahhhh, blogging is such therapy.
I can only imagine how stressful it can get for you at times - but you done good! We are sending ‘hugs’ your way.
By the way, I was just checking out your ‘about’ page and saw that you are addicted to dark chocolate. You have to check out Amano chocolate. It’s made in Utah and it is the very highest quality.
Oooh, Danu, you have hit my weak spot… dark chocolate…mmmmm…. I haven’t tried Amano yet, but looking forward to doing so…. Call me a purist. But the bitter darkness melts away and you can taste the fruitiness of the bar. No extra sugar needed. Is there such a thing as a professional chocolate taster?
