Mommyhood

Elijah at 1 years old

It's been a year now since I gave birth. I cannot believe how time flies. This year has probably been the most challenging year of my life, settling in to becoming a mother for the first time. Being far from family has meant pretty much doing everything by myself which compounded everything. Was it easy? No. I felt like I was on the verge of my sanity sometimes from the stress of holding everything together. I often wished I had more help but to be honest, I've become batter as a result of it. It's funny how we grow stronger from the most difficult times in life. It forces one out of complacency to do all that is necessary. There isn't any time to laze around and think. Sometimes, having no time IS the best time. It makes us truly prioritize, trimming out the unnecessary things in life and move ahead.
