This is a picture of my daughter from today. We went to a little farm in Wycoff, New Jersey. She had a blast, obviously!

Sometimes the most beautiful, most attractive quality one can have is the ability to accept and embrace their imperfections; to wear them proudly because they love themselves, anyway. Confidence in oneself outweighs the bearing any flaw can have on ones existence. In other words, a flaw is only as much of a flaw as one allows it to be. Embrace your imperfections and others will, too. We've all heard it before, and it couldn't be any more true: it's all a matter of perspective. How you perceive yourself will reflect greatly in the way others perceive you. I think the most perfect combination of qualities in a person is a lot of confidence balanced out by a lot of humility.

How do they do it all?

I used to wonder how people got things done, such as go to school full time and work full time all while having a child. I wondered how people managed to do all of these time consuming things and do them efficiently and properly without completely breaking down and ultimately failing at everything. I would say, "there is absolutely no way I could do that. I just couldn't". Well, I still haven't done all of those things but I'm currently experiencing circumstances that are quite close  to them. I am a full time mom, working a part time job, and I am taking two college courses in pursuit of my degree. My circumstances are most certainly the kind that I would have, at one time, found to be absolutely impossible. I've come to realize that the bottom line is you just do what you gotta do. Period. There is no limit to what we are capable of. When our circumstances change, our capacity does, as well. We push through. Especially when there are children involved; they are the most significant source of motivation and inspiration. Most parents have said at one point or another that they would do simply anything for their child or children. I believe that word "anything" includes, despite being sleep deprived, working extra hard to better our lives, and in turn bettering our children s lives. Every single thing that I do is with my daughter in mind. Every single class I take, every single moment I spend at my job. Everything is working towards one ultimate goal which is to provide for my child the best life that I can possibly provide. This doesn't mean that it's easy. It just simply means that it's doable. So, getting back to my initial point, I no longer look at people and wonder, "how do they do it all!?" because I know how. They just do.
