A Remembrance and New Memories

     Considering what day it is today it seemed fit to write about the word anamnesis.  It is the recollection or remembrance of the past; reminiscence.  And if you believe in it a recollection of Ideas, which the soul had known in a previous existence, especially by means of reasoning. It originates from Neo-Latin and Greek anámnēsis which meant remembrance.

     It has been a crazy year. Between leaving my husband, having a baby, and then getting a divorce, it's a mixture of the best and worst year. Though I think giving birth to my son trumps any bad things that happened to me. It's a great way to start a New Year though, with a clean slate. Hopefully I have another chance at meeting someone who will treat me right and be a wonderful daddy to my son. Someone he can look up to and respect. Though I know I don't need anyone to be complete. If anything that is something I learned from my ex. My New Year Resolution is just to be a good mommy to my beautiful baby boy.

Baby + Sleep = ?

     The word somnolent means to be sleepy; drowsy, or tending to cause sleep. It comes from the late (1425-1475) Middle English word sompnolent.

     I know how this feels. Having a five month old baby boy is a full time job. Sleep is something I don't get very much of. It is getting better though. He only wakes up once or twice at night. During the day he's  a cat napper. The longest I can get him to sleep is maybe half an hour. I love him though. <3 He's always getting complimented on how happy and sociable he is. My little man is very friendly and avidly smiles at everyone. It's the greatest feeling in the world being a mother.

How Much Are You Worth?

     The word vituperate means to use or address with harsh or abusive language; revile, criticize harshly. It comes from the latin word vituperatus which is the past participle of vituperare to blame, spoil. Synonyms of this word are censure, vilify, berate.

     Unfortunately I was preyed upon for roughly two years by the man I had married. Everyday was a constant battle that left me quite exhausted. I felt as if any task I did was not good enough. When I tried to do things better I got the same response. Getting away from that situation has been the best thing for me and my little one. Life might not be perfect, I still have trials, but I no longer feel inadequate or worthless. I am a beautiful person and I deserve all the happiness in the world.
