Whether it's the radio, TV or newspaper, people everywhere are moaning about "the state of our economy". The economy reflects the wealth and resources of a country, and the conditions of our economy depend upon the careful management of available resources and the preservation of reserves.
Today on the radio, I overheard a conversation regarding the banking industry. The gentlemen on the radio show stated that they were "burning through our reserves". I'm not exactly sure what or who HE was talking about, but I started thinking about mothers.
With such an emphasis these days on "going green" and ensuring the sustainability of our resources for the future, I have a whole new approach to motherhood and the mastery of its complicated intricacies. A mother is like an economy. :) She must ensure the preservation of her resources and the maintenance of her reserves - patience, energy, innovation, and sanity, among other things.
The sustainability of mothers is, in my humble - humorous and sarcastic - opinion, a crisis of epidemic proportion. To provide for the present without compromising the ability to provide for the future is a major task for any mother.
To avoid a deficit of natural resources and the perpetuation of a successful ecomomy, it is essential for moms to plan ahead, think outside the box, and create strategies to build up reserves in the present. Preservation, sustainability, and energy crisis are all words that stand out in a mother's world.
It is time to set aside the guilt for taking time for herself and - even more so - moms need to dedicate time to figuring out what actions could help fill their reserve tanks - a commodity not needed for immediate use but readily available when required.
Our ecomomy may be in a state of crisis, but there is a lot we can do to prevent future depletions of energy... and patience... and sanity.
