A warm tear momement

Today, Sunday 8th April 2012. I have vowed to not go onto Facebook today, and I haven't so far and to further my reasonings is an article I read this morning in the Sunday Mail that people who spend alot of time on Facebook are less happy and have a lower IQ. Ouch!!
I had no concrete plans for today except that I needed to go to the shops, clean and do some reading. I just went to the shops up the road as Jed has been in the best of moods lately and me being me didn't leave the house till 10:30am, so a car trip too far would've back fired quickly. Even the trip to the local shops had me gritting my teeth and death staring Jed. Oh the terrible two's and that I tried him on wheat last week and we are all paying for it.
I bought the Sunday Mail today which I haven't read in awhile. I have found today's articles hert warming and tearful, maybe I'm due to 'O' soon as I'm feeling emotional. Since it is Autism Awareness Month, I have also had my first encounter working with a autistic child which I found challenging and overwhelling, I have decided to slowly research and become more aware. The article I read today about Tim Sharp, 23, is inspiring and his intelligence and creativity will take him places and enrich the lives of the people blessed to meet him I sure. Then on the cross page was Bindi Irwin which had tears too rolling down my face at what this young lady has already achived and her faith in what has been thought to her through her father.
About to start the article about women who choose to be childless, I can understand to a certain point why women do choose/want to be. I have struggled with loosing that piece of myself ( the freedom mainly) since having children and have often thought of where I would be if I didn't, but I have never felt such a strong emotion as wanting to have children and the love. It makes me wonder about how selfish are we as individuals and society. We want everything now, 10 mintues ago and have no patience. I am bad for this. Are we so engorged on the furture and what is in it for ourselves that we are forgetting to live in the now and value what we have now, not what we want now? I can answer a big YES for the above. Sad.
Only I can change how I act and think and if I can value myself and what I have more so now then maybe I can pass that down to my children and in our environment.
I do believe that it is good we have so many choices and availablities in our life. I often struggle with the vast variety of choices and range available. Like which car, which milk, which laundry powder, country to live in etc. I think that strong foundations and beliefs make the decisions easier and clearer, a path in which I'm trying to grasp now and in my path of self discovery.
It's great though that we do have these choices.
Jed has woken from his nap so I'm off. xxoo

So I have just read the article on women and couples that choose to be childless and my view had changed, I did judge people that chose to be as selfish, but as a interviewe described that she doesn't label and woman with children as selfish. I am proud of the women the contributed to the article with honesty as they have to justify why to so many people and society already and I then judged the article and people before even reading it and being open minded.
I life filled with a strong career, property portfilio's, overseas travel, endless shoes and clothing and expensive resturants and cafes would be very lovely indeed. Though for me it's wonderful as a dream and everything/situation/life has it's good and bad and I'm glad I've got my own.
