Incredible Woman #1 - Janie Squire

Being a mom has got to be one of the most fulfilling jobs a woman could ever have. The anticipation of starting a family, then the realization of how much responsibility falls on a mother's shoulders can be a bit overwhelming. My advice is to enjoy each stage of your child's life. It passes by so quickly. I know that I would hear that comment from other moms and I couldn't relate to it very much. Then Brandon finally came along and with each passing birthday, I realized how quickly the years were going by. Then our Cydnee came along and the years were going by even faster! It seems like yesterday when I was registering her for kindergarten! Now she is venturing off to college! Brandon ventured off to his new journey and so here I sit wondering if I taught them what they needed to learn before embarking off into their separate journeys. I pray that I have. Savor each stage. Savor the infant years, the toddler stage, the adolescent years and yes the teenage years. If I could turn the clock back, I would spend less time worrying about how many toys were scattered about the living room and more time enjoying the fact that I had a living room with toys scattered about. Don't fret too much about being too tidy. Take a deep breath and enjoy the journey, for it all too soon can pass you by.
