Sometimes, like you here, I find it so victorious, like "look what I lived through."<br /><br />Other times, like getting ready for a high school reunion, I think more defeatist, "Thank goodness none of us knew all that we were in for back then. It would have been way to much to bear."<br /><br />I guess there's a victory in that, too, in that we DID bear it all.Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-10553922392912615332015-04-07T22:34:04.451-07:002015-04-07T22:34:04.451-07:00I think if I could go back in time and show myself...I think if I could go back in time and show myself what's happening now I wouldn't even believe myself, lol! Time is such a bitch...sometimes sooooo slow and sometimes so fast! I feel like the last 8 months have just flown by so quickly it takes my breath away. I just got a photo book I ordered of my birth photos, the non graphic ones at least! I have enjoyed having the pictures so easily accessible for me to look at and reminisce.Not Pregnant And Pissed!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16774575387874843165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-19103933049055301772015-04-07T10:27:47.056-07:002015-04-07T10:27:47.056-07:00thanks :-) hope you have a beautiful day too!thanks :-) hope you have a beautiful day too!torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-35070005143499035472015-04-07T01:05:19.634-07:002015-04-07T01:05:19.634-07:00What a lovely idea!
