I just finished reading Gretchen Rubin's "The Happiness Project." Found it super enjoyable. Her writing really resonates with me.
Thinking about it a lot with respect to my relationships with Josh and Lucy. ... And parenting especially.
Applying it at 3AM (perhaps the most ungodly hour...babies must know this...) when she wakes up. I can either feel the complete oppressive weight of my tired being and wonder "WHY is she awake NOW." Or I can ruminate on how lucky I am to be her mom, how wonderfully snuggly and cuddly she is, how much I love nursing her...and if she's going to be past the point of sleep, we can get up and play with books or toys (and I can have tea) for an hour before going back to bed and sleeping in. It really makes me appreciate that THIS IS IT. (The years are short, the days are long). I am so glad she is here, and sometimes it is totally exhausting, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
