Children

Why do we have them?

Listening to Eat Pray Love on CD, driving back and forth to work. Hear the story differently than when I read.

She asks herself, Liz Gilbert, the author, why she DOESN'T want to have kids. Her ex calls her selfish.

Makes me think as I'm driving.

Why did I have children? Did I even think about it? Was it even an option not to? And would I have more?

Don't read anything between any lines about me not wanting mine. That's not what I'm saying here.

I'm just thinking - without any answers yet - why? Why did I have them? Why did I want them?

Or is it as my BFF always tells me, "It just is!"
