free

I went to Andrea's site today and read her latest post apologizing for everything and even though you want to tell her ~ NO, you don't have to apologize for anything! I also felt how freeing it was to read it and I bet how freeing it was to write.

It free'd me just reading her list so I'm going to have to take it upon myself to get a few things out that been cooped up for much too long:

I'm sorry I don't write here more often
I'm sorry I don't have anything worth while to contribute
I'm sorry my photos aren't magically delicious
I'm sorry I work a full - time job that sucks the life out of me
I'm sorry that I'm pregnant with my second child and there are some out there who can't even have one
I'm sorry that I don't call you back
I'm sorry I don't make the first move
I'm sorry I write depressing, sad thoughts
I'm sorry I feel jealous
I'm sorry I write crap more often than not
I'm sorry that sometimes email is the only way you can reach me
I'm sorry I might only call you when I'm on my commute
I'm sorry I never have cash in my wallet and most likely have to put it on my credit card
I'm sorry I'm not always happy when it looks like I "should" be
I'm sorry I complain here
I'm sorry I'm not super mom
I'm sorry I get moody
I'm sorry I get selfish
I'm sorry I get angry before I get sad
I'm sorry I can't cry
I'm sorry I take long naps on the weekends instead of going "out"
I'm sorry that cleaning my house isn't on the top of my list anymore
I'm sorry I don't laugh as much anymore

so there you go....this felt good ...it felt freeing for me
it felt like i let something go .....

Stef -

I loved this, the bravado of it, the balls-out feeling of it, this breathless flurry of "what I really mean to say is" that so few of us have the wherewithal to articulate. What a generous offering all around. Thank you. Thank you for the permission you have given all of us.
