About me
I wanted to take some time to tell you all a little about me. I currently live in Texas where it is really hot even when you wake up in the morning. I have just recently started to get up early and go outside in the morning when it is about 80 degrees. This is a time that I am going to use for myself, not my kids or my husband. I am going to reconnect with myself and the world. I am going to leave all cares and worries behind me. I am going to clear my mind of all the tasks that I have to accomplish for the day. I have been losing hope for some time now. I am going to reward myself for positive thinking and attitudes (like I do with my kids). Somehow I feel this will help me grow as a better human being. I hope this helps me to reconnect with myself, my spirtuality, and all the beautiful things in nature.

Hi fitnessdiva,
ReplyDeleteI like your goal on taking time out for yourself. As we become a wife and a mother I believe that we push our needs aside to care for those we love. Never realizing the damage that we may be doing to ourself. I have learned through my life experiences and through my faith that we as a wife and mother need a few moments for ourself. I use to think that by taking time for myself was selfish now I know that by taking care of my body, mind and spirit I am able to take better care of the ones I love.
I agree, we as mothers, wives, and caregivers make our needs come last, including our spiritual health. Clearing our minds will help us help others.
ReplyDeleteI tuly understand your point of view. As I read your post on your blog, I fully understand your point you are trying to make. I have found myself lost in my own being simply because I was so consumed with being a wife and a mother. I forgot to find peace and serenity for me. I am not superwoman, even though I try to be. I am a very spiritual person--looking at life from a practical point of view caused me deep depression. I begin to read about women in the bible. I found strength from bibical stories. (EX: Ruth and Esther) If your into reading, try nature ( I love just sitting outside watching humming birds feed on the humming bird feeder I placed outside). I miss Alabama so much. I miss my parents a lot with this being said, I have to go to God in quiet time and just close my eyes and pray for peace within. I pray that your renewwed and peace and joy consumes you--You classmate and friend, Angie
