Looking through the lens

March of 8th

Me, myself and I…

It’s starts with me, me, me, me, me… slowly turns into “myself” reflection and with age, ages like a good wine into I… I am not working on this I… ♥AVS

From all time to no time

Time flies when you are having fun and I can promise you, I am having a blast! Not only has my life changed since November, but I have also managed to understand that I didn’t change a bit.

Motherhood has added new skills to my CV and yet my son added new adventures to my life. I am adjusting my priorities with reasonable compromise and deeper appreciation for smaller things in life. I am experiencing same activities in a different way. I am slowly learning to ask for help, of course I still know “I can do it all”, because help opens opportunity to actually get things done without feeling bad or missing out on little moments. It is interesting how much you continue to learn about yourself as well as your limits and limitlessness. It is still all new, yet it feels like I have been doing it for as long as I can remember.

I am glad I have managed to write few sentences down. Now, off to get some rest.

Starting off 2013

” ‘Ti Amo’ changes with each moment, not because we feel different… but because we get to know each other more and more and fall in love deeper and deeper” – AVS

The sentence above, I wrote  on the postcard to my boyfriend about a year ago or so… Now, with baby Ethan around “Ti Amo” takes on a whole new meaning. Life changes, days go by and new adventures enter my life day in and day out. I can’t put to words or explain this life of being a mother, but without a doubt I feel like baby Ethan was part of my life all along. It feels natural and at times tiring, but yet so natural. It feels gratifying and all Ethan has to do is smile!

I love my little pumpkin with all my heart and I can’t wait to teach him about the world and see him grow up to be a fine young man! ♥ Truth is, I can wait… but you know what I mean

Not a mommy… just yet

I must say, the idea of staying home to wait for my little charmer to come out didn’t appeal to me right away. Even after, these past three weeks, it felt like torture more than relaxation. As time went on, I did realize that what I was missing is some reflection time: me now and me baby later…

Life changes when baby comes… enjoy you before it will forever be we…

Is it dark out there…

I was wondering yesterday, what is it about darkness that makes many fear it? What monsters scare us the most? Internal or external? Isn’t it that most of the time there is nothing but our imagination?

What is it about the darkness that scares you the most?
