The power of One

Everyday I learn the power of one. I learn just how precious one second, one minute, one hour, one day can be. Each day is a new fight to fight, a new battle to win, and a new moment to share with my husband. My daughters are growing so much.
They bless my mornings with smiles. It gets me going in the mornings, and my parents can attest to how difficult that is. I am not a morning person, but I look forward to the little bit of time that I get with just them and me each morning as I get them ready for the sitters. I think they like it too. I get the biggest smiles, some giggles, and their optimism that they know today is going to be a great day.
I have always heard how having children changes your life, but you can never fully understand this until you are a parent. Each day becomes an adventure. What will my child, or in my case, children come up with today? What will they discover? What will they do that they may have never done before? Each day is a mystery that I can not wait to discover the experience of. They truly have touched my life more than anyone other than my husband. There they are tied. They have changed me. I am not afraid to speak out as much, and I am learning how to enjoy the power of one.
Each and every moment is precious. We never know just how many we have. I love my children more than anything. My girls and my husband are what keep me going many times. I just remember how very much they need me, and how I need them. They light my way when times get dark. I look at them and am amazed at how they are. They are truly happy, wonderful babies. I could not ask for more. I am so proud to be their mom, and my husband's wife.
Everyone, please remember, time is short. We think that we will always have all of the time in the world, but really, reflecting back, it is short. It seems like just yesterday we were bring the girls home, and now they are almost seven months old. I still remember being pregnant with them, feeling them move was I thought the greatest joy, but it just keeps growing.
I will be graduating soon, and so I will actually have my daughters present on the day that I graduate with my bachelor's degree. It is hectic going to school, and I hate the time away, but I look at them and know why I did it. It is for them and my husband, and me. I needed the experience and the knowledge that I completed one of my all time goals. I will have my bachelor's degree soon.
A final message before I go to bed, life is short. Embrace it and know the true power behind one minute, one hour, one moment, one day. Each is precious, and all should be treasured.
