Plagiarism is bad, so I copied...


Some people my age -I'm still in my 20's for another few weeks- go bar-hopping.  I go blog-hopping.  In one of my blog-hops (?) I came across THIS blog and really liked what she wrote about being a mom. So I copied it in order to paste it on my blog.  If she minds, I'll certainly take it off and attempt to paraphrase in my best non-plagiaristic (?) manner...It's simple and eloquent and pins the tail right on the donkey. Here it is:

the moment i looked at my daughter for the first time i doubled in my desires to be a good, strong, faithful woman. motherhood has made me feel everything more deeply: love, joy, happiness; but also pain, worry, and fear. and as hard and tiring as that sounds (and it is both hard and tiring), that fullness of emotion is what I love about motherhood. i will take the worry and work if with it comes love that makes you want to burst, happiness that makes you float, and a desire to nurture that sends you on the errand of angels. being a mother fills me with purpose.
