gratitude

warning: sappy

i have never considered myself an overly sentimental person but lately i'm such a sap. maybe it's all those folgers home-for-the-holidays commercials i've seen recently. maybe it's that i get to spend the holiday season at home this year relaxing and just enjoying my time. whatever the reason, i was so taken by a hallmark christmas commercial that today i bought whit one of their keepsake ornaments. it's so sweet and yes, so sappy.


i know a few girls who have known since they were small that what they really wanted to be in life was a mom. sure, they may have gotten an education and even pursued a career, but deep down they longed to be a mother. they just wanted babies and a life that involved endless wonderings and amazements at all things children related. i was never one of those girls. it's not that i never considered kids, it's just that i was having a lot of fun living a life full of other interests. at least i thought it was full... until this guy came. i never knew that i was missing something 'til now.
