Nothing new
Brennon woke up today at 5:30 and didn't feel like going back to sleep--which is always a good time. He is growing and changing right before my eyes, so I am glad I can spend the summer taking care of him. He seems to be sicker during this time, too.
I hosted a female only shower on Sun. and it reminded me of the shower that we had for B. Its fun and overwhelming at the same time because its the first baby. I can see how the first born can be spoiled because they receive all the new toys, clothes and accessories. By the time the second, third or fourth child rolls around-I imagine mom and dad are asking themselves what they can possibly recycle from the previous child. I did not have that problem growing up since I was the only child. I was spoiled but I was aware of it. I wanted various things, but I don't think I threw fits or appeared entitled to them. (?) I didn't have to share toys, or hand down clothes, or even wonder whose presents were under the tree...it was all mine :>
Right now I am debating on which hobby to pick up again. Since B. was born I have since abandoned anything that will enrich my core being. And since the Oprah show doesn't really count--I am considering the options. I had plenty of hobbies when I was single, but they say that you shouldn't sacrifice your passions if you want to live long and prosper. An article on centenarians (which are increasing) mentioned that 100 year olds don't have a lot of money...but they really don't care. A large percent volunteer and/or has a 'passion' or hobby that they live for. And they don't have much stress about stuff..I mean when you are that age most things will roll off like water on a duck's back. So, again I need to pursue my hobbies and/or passions and/or volunteer somewhere so I can live to be 100...or not.
