I did not know that being a child is basically being able to act however you want, and being an adult is acting how everyone else expects. Realizing that I have those same expectations of other adults as well. Actually, giving a crap about other peoples needs and feelings more than your own. Most people eventually figure out that being a child was a much simpler time with no mortgage or electric bills, or even worrying how am I going to put gas in the car. But it is so much more than that. For most kids it's about not seeing the ugly in the world, or realizing that the people who are suppose to look out for us are sometimes the very people who hurt us the most. Loving someone is simple and easy not constantly questioned or doubted. It just is!
As I was loading the dishwasher tonight it came to me this is my life. My life as a wife and a mother. I am blessed to have some of the comforts we tend to take for granted, and I do take them for granted like most people most of the time. But not tonight, tonight I am thankful for everything in my life. Which includes being thankful for what I did not know that I did not know!
