Hello, Stranger.

Long time, no see.  A few years and one child later, here I am (with many of the same feelings I shared back then).  The postpartum period seems to be a difficult time for me emotionally and socially.  Anxiety. Depression. Sleep deprivation. But I love my life and I love my family.  Bottom line.  I think I have accepted that this is a season in my life and I try so desperately to savor the moments--to catalog them and preserve the joy to be fully appreciated and enjoyed some time in the future.  But, I wish I was enjoying them fully now.  I will keep trying.  I will keep counting my blessings and giving lots of hugs.  I will keep writing (when I can find a few spare moments).  I will smile.
