I've thought about this often. I notice it when I only have my littlest with me versus when I have all three of my kiddos. Everyone stops to comment on just how adorable he is -- his life is celebrated by strangers. Then, when I have all three kids or one of my oldest; it is silence. It fascinates me. All that to say -- I miss people celebrating for no good reason and for good reason, too. Have the senses dulled? Does Social Media make accomplishment seem as common as a pb&j? Idk. It seems that way. I'm celebrating having spent the last 6 months becoming healthy and strong -- and in three weeks, I'll be running my first half-marathon. I never thought I could feel that way again, or that it would ever be possible to run 10 or 13 miles at once. I'm proud of that.
