I often find myself marvelling at how we live in a world where things happen so fast. Instant results. Instant gratification. The internet comes to mind first and foremost. With the click of a mouse there are literally thousands of resources available at our fingertips. I wonder sometimes if all this really is a good thing.... or if it's made us a little bit lazy and all but too demanding with a dash of entitlement on the side.
My kids will grow up in this type of world, but I want to try to keep some things simple, if at all possible. I know we can't live in a bubble, but there are things I can do to teach patience and the value of a hard day's work. Ironically, just yesterday I was wishing that I was 39 weeks rather than 32 weeks pregnant..... that Ruby's bangs would hurry up and grow..... that the fertilizer we put on our grass would turn it green overnight.
So, I'm officially going to make concerted efforts from now on to just let things be and be happy with the way things are. As is.
It goes without saying - I'm happy with Miss Ruby. She's perfect. As is.
