This week I have really reflected on how my outlook on life has changed over the past year. My daughter turned one last week. She is walking and babbling and learning and amazing me everyday with her ability to absorb all the knowledge that exists around her. There is nothing she doesn't learn from.
But I digress.
I used to want so strongly to never experience anything bad. But now, its like I know I have to otherwise there would be no good.
I get it now.
If there was never any "bad" then how could I ever appreciate the "good". And maybe because I am a mother or not so much a mother, but a person who is the world for another, I cherish that good so much more than I ever have before in my life.
I want so strongly now to never lose sight of what makes me happy. Of what gives me peace. I want so strongly not to be angry at anything or one because I know that the anger I give into tarnishes the good I might be experience.
I'll take the bad, when it comes.
But I'll take the good and hold on so much tighter than I did before.

i completely agree with your outlook on good and bad
i never wanted to be involved with anything bad, but now that i'm stuck in a bad time (again) i know the things that have happened to me that have been good...
needless to say although i'm going through a rough time, i'm also looking forward to a more positive time that i've got planned...
Well put Ms. Berly.
So how are things going with baby #2? No pictures of a preggers Berly this time? :o)
This is so great to hear. Too often I see people who get caught up in the negative things in life when, really, there is always so much positive around us and it's much healthier to focus on that. I think it's important for you to pass this joy onto your daughter. She is a lucky little girl to have you as a mom.
