Life through Purple-colored Glasses

Being a new mom, even, an old new mom, is wonderful. It is also, at times, massively time and energy-consuming. But everyone knows that; even non-parents can imagine all that.

What is somewhat surprising is the degree to which one starts to see everything through a colored lens of some sort. I cannot think of any activity that I might wish to engage in, any activity whatsoever, without thinking about how it relates to my child. I can't even have a conversation with anyone without some thought of my son entering my mind.

What does this mean? I do feel, at times, that I'm seeing the world through purple-colored glasses. And yes, as jazzy as it feels, sometimes, just sometimes, it can be a little irritating.
