Hold fast to faith and optimism. Having faith and optimism as your anchors can help you to weather whatever storms you encounter as you navigate the sometimes tumultuous seas of parenthood. They can also prevent you from losing sight of the fact that raising a child is one of life's greatest joys. For despite the inevitable rough stuff that we have to muddle through on the Very Bad Days of parenthood (those days when you swear your patience has been pushed to the limit and beyond—and it’s not even 8:00 a.m.), there are just enough magical moments to keep you going.
And, more often than not, it’s the stuff of daily living that manages to unexpectedly catapult us to parenting nirvana: the giggles and squirms of a freshly bathed toddler who seems hell bent on getting dirty all over again or the heart-stealing first-smile-ever of a bright-eyed, cooing baby.
These moments of connection between parent and child are nothing short of pure magic—the very essence of what it means to love and be loved. And as any parent who has had that privilege can tell you, life doesn't get any better than this.
