Hello beautiful mums! I REALLY love this page and the supportive mums who live here! ;-)
Now, I'm hoping I could get some support with my unusual question!
I'm struggling at the moment as a 'friend of a friend' has been diagnosed with cancer and given only a few weeks left to live. Heartbreaking - not as many days as she had planned in her life.
Far out - How I HATE cancer!! :-(
It's got my head in a whirl these past days - What is the point of it all? To work -> build big houses and have kids -> then depart? Our goals have to be bigger than this right??
What is your definition of success?
At the moment I'm a stay at home mum - and LOVE what I do. If I was given weeks left, I'd still be doing this (but probably pulling older kids out of school!!) Is that selfish of me? Is that success? Doing what you love everyday?
We may not have the best of everything, but I'm there for my husband / kids / friends in a heartbeat if needed! It doesn't feel successful some days....
Love to hear from others in this thought process in my head! Thanks for sharing!

My definition of success is being happy, content, safe. Nothing to do with belongings, nothing to do with being married, or in a relationship, nothing to do with a career. Just simple things. We have food on the table, are respected, safe and content and that to me is worth a trillion dollars.
