No 'More'...

When I first came up with the name for my blog, I wanted it to reflect a new passage in my life. Motherhood. And at the time I was silly enough to think that there would be more to life that that. Flash to the present and I have come to realise that there is no more to my life (and this blog) than being a mother. Sad, or so i thought. The truth is, I have relished this past year. Although there are days when I find myself simply staring at the clock willing the hands to move faster, most days I truly enjoy being with Meera. I remind myself that time will go by in a flash and I must live in the moment.

A few days ago my boss got in touch with me to ask if I was ready to come back to work. It got me thinking....am I ready? When I told Jing about the call he asked me how I felt about it. I said, ''I'm ready but Meera isn't''. Truth is I'm the one that's not ready. As for Meera, I think she would survive.

Everyday, I see her growing and changing in so many different ways. From the little bundle that couldn't even focus on me to the toddling child that will look at me with a beaming smile as if to share a private joke with me. In those moments I realise that I don't need anything more.

Ask me again in a few months and maybe I'll have a different answer. I hear the toddler years are hell (on the parents!)...
