"Someday, you’ll get an "I love you" or an "I’m thankful for you" message from your big kid, and you’ll know that whatever it was that brought the two of you to that point is something you wouldn’t change for anything."Here’s the thing, young-mom friends: when you get to be a mom with mileage like me, will there be some choices, habits, and decisions you’ll look back on and say, "I wish I’d done those differently"? Yes. Of course. That’s because hindsight is 20/20, whereas you’re parenting today with murky vision clouded by sleep deprivation and general chaos, staring down a foggy road with twists and turns and traffic jams and detours every few feet.
But oh, sweet mama, don’t give away today’s time and energy worrying about what you’ll wish you could change tomorrow. Mother your children right now based on what you can already be pretty sure you won’t regret. Love lavishly. Encourage. Listen. Focus on process and progress, not perfection. Build up. Repair. Hug. Hold. Cheer. Console. Forgive. Confess. Show up. Get up.
Someday, you’ll get an "I love you" or an "I’m thankful for you" message from your big kid, and you’ll know that whatever it was that brought the two of you to that point is something you wouldn’t change for anything. …
