A Few of My Favorite Things | Chopping Potatoes
https://choppingpotatoes.wordpress.com/2015/05/21/a-few-of-my-favorite-things
And other metaphors for motherhood. A Few of My Favorite Things. When a knit stitch pulls through smoothly, with satisfaction. The strength of a bond pulled taut, in spite of the miles. Sun on your face. A wind rushing through the trees,. Upturned eyes searching for a brief blot of the sun,. Finding an osprey soaring high above. An upsurge of soul,. A welling of emotion.

And other metaphors for motherhood. In my post Thursday, I discussed the pitfalls of postpartum in dads. There is a major one I erroneously omitted. One more thing for postpartum moms to worry about. So all you women and mothers suffering from postpartum mood disorders out there, my last post was not meant to make you feel bad. It was not meant to give you one more thing to feel shitty about.
