A season of new beginnings

2010...a new year and decade. Where did the last one go? It's hard to believe 2009 flew by so quickly and with so many firsts taking place. First pregnancy and subsequent birth, first son, first smiles and laughs, and everything that goes with raising a newborn in those brief but beautiful first months. He is the light of my life, and I know 2010 will have its share of firsts as well.
I am pulled, more often than not, away from this journal due to the daily constraints of being a stay at home mom and wife. Laundry, dishes, baby needs someone to play with, the dogs need to be walked, etc...but as the year is progressing I find I am in need of a place I can dump my thoughts at the end of the day without having to justify or explain them. Perhaps in the silence of my home tonight I will be able to quiet my mind once these words have left it. We'll see.
