I have found that motherhood involves a degree of monotony and drudgery. But, there are wonderful moments of pure joy that shine throught the long days. Tonight I had one of those such moments. Madeline was sitting on my lap in our rocking chair after her bath, as naked as the day she was born. We were singing "I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee". She was bouncing up and down with her hands clasped together, saying "baby bee, baby bee" with a huge smile on her face. I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude and happiness for the chance to be the mother of such an amazing, beautiful little girl. There is nothing in this world I would rather be.

What a sweet moment. I can't fully comprehend what that would be like but I sometimes get a glimpse when I'm holding one of my neices. There's just something about it that brings me a lot of peace and joy, as well.
