Hello, blogosphere! These are my thoughts. Thoughts, blogosphere. Blogosphere, thoughts. As my blog title suggests, this will be my spot for wide ranging thoughts, though lately I am predictably thinking about motherhood, politics, and spirituality. (Well, and it goes without saying, Carolina basketball.) All of which are, of course, intertwined.
Motherhood
I am four months in! What a crazy crazy thing. Usually my thoughts about motherhood are better described as bursts of random observation: what a cute kid I have! What an incredible father my husband is. What have we done? Look what we’ve done! When will I sleep? I had no idea he’d be so soft. I had no idea how singing to him would make me feel. And then from time to time I’ll have a longer, coherent idea.
Politics
My husband thinks I need a soapbox and outlet for my rage! He mistakenly believes that when I am voicing an opinion *sotto voce* at home that I am upset with him. Not true (necessarily). Often I am JUST UPSET and someone needs to know. Now I can tell my blog and punch my pillow.
Spirituality
I certainly wouldn’t want to use the “R” word, and even “spirituality” sounds a little formal for my daily thoughts on the meaning of life. Spirituality for me here will probably include a few thoughts on religion(s) and holy books, especially when I have gotten to chew on something really interesting or challenging with my brilliant and newly ordained priest-sister. But I also savor more unconventional brushes with divine, like when every year (every year!!) in the Spring I am astonished by leaves. How big they are, and how many there are, and how they completely cover the trees.
So that gives you a little more context for what “all and sundry” will be. Here I go – this should be fun
