So recently the question was raised if you could only have one dessert the rest of your life what would it be? How awful!! So at first I thought it would be chocolate chip bars for me, but for the rest of my life!?!?! I like chocolate chip cookie bars but I know that I would never want to eat them and only them for the rest of my life!
Could anything be good if you knew it would be the same thing over the rest of your life?? So of course the first thing this leads me to think about is marriage. If I couldn't commit to the same dessert for the rest of my life how could I commit to one person for the rest of my life?
Yet, I have no doubt that I will be a parent for the rest of my life. So in a sense I have committed myself there. So I am capable of life long commitment, but only in certain circumstances.
It is so very seldom you meet someone who is truly happily married. Is commitment all it is cracked up to be? Is it the same chocolate chip cookie bars for dessert every single day?

I like the comparison you make. The question you ask is a good one. Funny how when I was 20, chocolate chip cookie bars for the rest of my life sounded perfect. Marriages that work must find ways to keep things fresh and new sometimes. But there's something to that relaxed, comfortable love too-- sort of like my favorite jeans-- broken in, fits the shape of me. I'm not exactly sure how to have familiar and new at the same time. I'm not sure how to make things work. I have absolutely no answers. I'm just holding on.
You are a beautiful mom, and isn't he the best, most wonderous life in the whole world?
I love when you write. Keep writing.
