This is crazy...  I was inspired by my brother and his fiance today to go looking for this old blog and when I stumbled upon it, I was surprised to see that my last entry was the DAY BEFORE our daughter, Sabine, arrived, ha ha.  My life has definitely changed quite a bit since that last post, but then again, not so much really, either.  Surprisingly, the same themes that "plagued" me back then (and in years previous, I saw) are still bothering me today, and it made me realize that my ambitious hopes to radically change my approach to life once I had a little one on the scene were kind of smothered when I returned to work.  Seems things are much the same these days as they were pre-baby, with the added joy of course that I get to share a few hours in the day with a little curly-headed blondie who is constantly wowing me with her exploration of the world around her.
There are lessons here, I just don't know how to learn them, it would seem.  Anyway, I'm feeling a bit melancholy for some reason so I'm not going to post further for now, but hopefully this re-discovery of my old thoughts and goals will help me to re-align my focus a bit.  It at least does inspire me to start documenting the inspiring things in life again, because they're definitely there, and it'd do me some good to properly acknowledge them!  :)  (Especially, might I add, as I'm 12 weeks from welcoming baby #2 into the world).
