Isn't that one of the best words of the english language?? I finally am totally feeling satisfied with my stay-at-home-momness. I have to admit that the transition was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I have spent my whole life (well, just about) preparing to be a mom and when I became one, it was a harder adjustment than I thought it would be. But now, I love thinking up new recipes, sewing, playing with Madeline, and doing other things that I would never have time to do.
I honestly think that the world's egocentric mindset is ingrained in us more than we think. I am raising a child here, and that is so much more important than working some dumb 8-5 job that anyone could do. Anyway, I also think that being satisfied is something that you have to work on. you have to make yourself satisfied-- and work hard at becoming and maintaining that. I think that if you push yourself continually to develop your own talents also helps one to feel satisfied.
Anyway, what helps you guys to feel satisfied with your lives?

Amen! Seriously, it has been a hard transition to be a full time mom, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. It's still hard for me to function before 9:30-10:00am, but on those days that I can get my rear in gear before then I feel great! If I can get a good run in during the day and if I can cross off a few things from my "to do" list, then I feel satisfied.
Good insights. It's still a day to day battle for me.
What a wonderful feeling. I have days where I feel like that and they help me get through the other ones...
I love what you said about satisfaction- that you have to work at it. I really resonate with that. What a fantastic way of looking at it. I can be satisfied if I work at it and make myself satisfied. What an ingenious thought, Diana. I'm going to ponder this for a long time, I can already tell.
Plan and build the future of my family makes me feel satisfied. Simple things like go to the doctor with my daughter and created a "menu" or find out a good school for her can make my day
