My Life's Journey

I decided to start a blog so I could express myself, and my life's journey, in words.  There are days I really feel down or frustrated or lost.  And on those days I really have the craving to blog so that I can get them out of my body without taking my feelings out on someone else (usually my huband). In fact, normally they are emotions that have nothing to do with him, or our child, or anyone else.  But I end up internalizing my feelings and emotions and sometimes it puts me in a funky mood that I can seem to get out of.  As a result, I end up not being so much fun to be around or as easy-going as usual.
On the other hand, I have lots of days where life is wonderful.  Having a 2 year old is a daily joy.  No matter how mad I get, his smile, hugs, and the simple words "I love you, Mommy" are enough to warm my heart and make me forget about my anger.  Life is also never boring with a 2 year old.  Our child is full of excitement, curiousity, and wonder.  Sometimes this leads to trouble, but it is such a wonderful quality for him to have.  He also is normally in a very cheerful, playing, and loving mood.  How can you stay mad at that? 
Well, glad to be in the blogging world.  This first blog will be short.  Hope to have many, many more blogs later!
