She's Alive.

Working moms are clearly immortal.

They have to be. Else they'd have died long ago.

Died of exhaustion. Died of anxiety. Died of overwork. Died of sleep deprivation. Died from an overdose of unwanted advice. Died of multi tasking mania.

Died of guilt.

Honestly, before we get into what a working mom lives with, works with, deals with, copes with, lets spend a moment in sheer wonder at the fact that she is still alive. And even more fascinating - she is still sane.

Be glad she's alive. If you listen carefully, if you pay a little bit of attention, you will get life's worthiest lessons from her.

Lessons on big heartedness. Lessons on patience. Lessons on sensitivity and compassion and empathy and fortitude and committment and caring.

Lessons in love. Pure unconditional love.

So go ahead. Spend some time with her. While's she wrecking her own physical mental and psychological well being, she can contribute hugely to yours.
