Every time Bill sees me lately he makes comments about how relaxed I am -- eg:
* Give you girls a calf and you're happy
* You're a very good cow
* It's in a very good paddock
Is it any wonder I'm relaxed when I can sit in the sun and fresh air to feed my baby? I am sooooo grateful that we have the resources that give me the freedom to enjoy being a new mother.
I've been a young mother (at 24) and an older mother (at 39), yet refuse to be drawn into any debate about which is better. Sure my body handled it better at 24, but I'm handling it better mentally at 39. I am better able to take the time I need to slow down and BE with my baby as she awakens to this brand new world. She has taught me
many lessons already :-)
Today I am thankful for all my life experiences.
