Especially when my baby boy gets here, it definitely won't be all about me. I will definitely have to work on being "all there" in a moment with my son. However, meeting my own needs is also important. Meeting our own needs outside of meeting the needs of someone else allows us to free rejuvenated and recharged enough to continue to be "all there." Don't fell guilty for a little "ME" time once in a while. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392670505606813998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597304169251165379.post-90258826197358733402011-02-21T20:21:25.602-05:002011-02-21T20:21:25.602-05:00That is so true.

That hurt me to hear and I have been trying so much harder to be there, and things are going better for both of us.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443417929886430937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597304169251165379.post-66979235819608588182011-02-21T11:17:27.732-05:002011-02-21T11:17:27.732-05:00This is so true and so well written.

I shudde to think about how infrequently I might get to see my own kids and grandkids if it wasn't for our weekly family dinner.Kristin Williams Ballahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876572473951409665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597304169251165379.post-42883904440814406672011-02-21T09:54:29.972-05:002011-02-21T09:54:29.972-05:00This is such a great study!

I really need to set my phone aside, and possibly even delete access to Facebook and e-mail from my phone just to be more present in certain relationships.

Which, is obviously crazy important since she's completely dependent on me. So, its not necessarily selfish, since as a mom, you're actually being very self-less.<br /><br />I also have to say that I've had and made some REAL friendships with people via the internet/blogging that have been truer friends to me than those in real life at times. Rich, deep, conversations, via phone, text, email, etc. So, I equally believe in those friendships.Katie @ Loves of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841348340467277988noreply@blogger.com
