&q...Sweden says hi and thank you for a great post! <br />"And best of all, you are somebody's mother!" I write about that i my blog, as motherhood is under attack here in this "feministic" country. <br />I like your nursing experiment! It makes it easier for me when visiting the states, always nervous giving my baby food there. I, like you, like to show my boobs:) Maybe not, but the blankets makes it harder and why complicate it when everything goes smooth with the autopilot? <br /><br />Please visit my cyber home in Sweden.

The theme of happiness and the constant search for it reminds me of a book I read in my last year of High School: <br /><br />The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia by Samuel Johnson<br /><br />I know the title really sounds completely uninspiring, but it is a great tale about happiness and how, even when we achieve the dream we have set out for, we are still not happy and then set about creating more dreams to achieve.<br /><br />It is very apt to what appears to be your current state of mind :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15969919357616060135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-85583585508982869372011-04-19T11:24:16.786-04:002011-04-19T11:24:16.786-04:00I'd love to hear the reasoning behind your exp...I'd love to hear the reasoning behind your experiment. I've breastfed all 3 of my children, but not uncovered in public. Covered, yes of course, but uncovered? No. Modesty is too important to me.<br /><br />So what is it that you're trying to learn through this experiment that outweighs the chance that a stranger will accidentally see an exposed breast?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-59829821000645974452011-04-19T10:11:43.462-04:002011-04-19T10:11:43.462-04:00I think it's only healthy to always want and s...I think it's only healthy to always want and strive for more... as long as you also appreciate all the good things you already have. I had a rought time with work and life in general a few months back, and I constantly stopped to reflect on all the good things I DO have. It is so important to focus on the blessings you do have, and to know that more good will be coming. I like thinking like an optimist :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16431697411930332651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-83154332698702455102011-04-19T09:48:38.761-04:002011-04-19T09:48:38.761-04:00This is a fabulous post.

I agree that striving for more goodness is important, though I sometimes get stuck in the wanting more of the new anthro catalog instead. :) Content while still striving? I guess that's what I'm aiming for. Love the Jim Carrey quote from an above commenter. And I'd join you in the open nursing if my 11 month old weren't such a gymnast! I'd be exposed on more than the landing and takeoff thanks to his crazy antics. :)OnCallMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01514344959092466068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-10498787523290960482011-04-19T09:17:47.920-04:002011-04-19T09:17:47.920-04:00Love it.
