My Challenge

My cousin Cherie set me a challenge today and that was to write a blog - she went easy on me and said I could blog about anything, my favourite movie, a favourite thing or something, an object that means something to me and my life..... Hmmmm what to write, what to write........

So many things come to mind - my family, my friends, people who have inspired me, 5 celebrities I'd love to have for dinner but I'm going to write about something that I am slowly learning.... ACCEPTANCE.  Not acceptance of others, but acceptance of me.  This is a hard one because for so many years I have believed what I want, deep down, is not understood by others but then I wonder why everyone else's opinion means more to me that what I want for myself and my life, and while I still do seek and crave acceptance from others, there is one specific thing that I have come to accept, and that's the fact that I LOVE being a stay at home mum and that's what I am happy doing.  People ask me "don't you get bored?" (NO!) "don't you crave adult conversation?" (That's what playdates and telephones are for) and "what do you do all day?" (interact with my son, cleaning, baking, playing, playdates, music, swimming, park play, painting, playdough, collage etc etc....)  Life is never boring and I am so rewarded by what I do.  I adore my little boy and love being home with him, educating him, playing with him and while I know that there are others out there that couldn't do what I do, but please know that I understand and accept that - but please accept for what I want for my life..... Because I do!
