So trying to decide whether I need to move over the blog posts that I started elsewhere or just pick up the project from here...decisions...and can I just re-start the project with today as day one...
Anyway, while I figure that out, I read an article today at lunch that brought tears to my eyes (and no, that is not common for me), it was from the travel section of the weekend New York Times, a mother's reflection on taking a train trip with her two sons now in their twenties.
Seth and Avery, my two are only 5 and 2 but it made me fast forward ahead and filled with all sorts of conflicted emotions, at the idea of them not being babies anymore, of me being that age, of getting to know them as adult people, of already seeing occasional snapshots of the men they will be, regret for all the times I'm impatient with them, when as every cliche correctly assures me this time is fleeting and precious. It also made me want to take a year long family trip somewhere, ambitious since at the moment, other than road trips to see my parents, we haven't traveled much with our 2 y/o....
