You won't regret having more time with your daughter. Full time work will still be there when your daughter becomes more independent. <br />One of the 5 regrets of the dying is not having spent more time with family. It's never "I wish I'd made more money".<br />Enjoy this precious time with your new baby!❤Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07553429775991816622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532204237192804954.post-65379101699351216122019-09-12T10:49:49.968-07:002019-09-12T10:49:49.968-07:00Thanks Sydney!

I love my couch and enjoy the days where I just lounge and relax, but doing something I love, even if it's uncomfortable or exhausting, is when I feel most alive!Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07553429775991816622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532204237192804954.post-84649166904414540402019-09-11T10:43:17.669-07:002019-09-11T10:43:17.669-07:00This spoke to me, and I read it at the right time ...This spoke to me, and I read it at the right time in my life. Thank you, Miriam! I just made the decision to reduce my hours at my full-time job, which I love, down to part-time hours. I had a baby 3 months ago, and I've been attached to her almost every hour of every day, and it broke my heart to think of sending her off to childcare. We weren't ready. I love being with her and watching her grow, we're just getting to know each other still. I was so torn to leave my job and thought "why is it so easy for other moms to do this, and I am struggling so much even *thinking* of leaving her". For that reason, we will continue to play the long game. I sacrificed more money, a good healthcare plan, and paid time off for this sweet little human who is my daughter. She won't be little forever, and full-time work can wait. The magic she makes me feel every time I look at her is worth working a bit harder to just make things work in the mean time. I think of your last blog title, "relax, darling, you have time". That we do. And we may as well enjoy every second of this fleeting time together. <3 Casey Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963993846351309881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532204237192804954.post-46438150342925374652019-09-11T09:25:47.067-07:002019-09-11T09:25:47.067-07:00"The point is to find something that gives yo..."The point is to find something that gives you a greater purpose than just going to work, paying bills, eating, watching TV and going to sleep."<br /><br />Words to live by!Sydneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03731931709423150765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532204237192804954.post-55398850613267186962019-09-09T21:46:38.875-07:002019-09-09T21:46:38.875-07:00Doing it for other people is a surefire way to not...Doing it for other people is a surefire way to not stick to it for very long. We have to have fun and enjoy it or there's no point!<br />So grateful for hobbies that give us joy, and sometimes, as a bonus, give joy to others as well. It's a win/win!Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07553429775991816622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532204237192804954.post-60755250175274083922019-09-09T08:47:53.228-07:002019-09-09T08:47:53.228-07:00I love this and it's everything I'm about ...I love this and it's everything I'm about right now.
