Thoughts

"There comes a time in life when you step away from the drama for no reason and people behind it, surrounding yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus only on the good. Life is too short to do anything other than be Happy ..."

How true this is.

I bought myself a great pair of running shoes yesterday. For the first time in longer than I can remember, I bought myself shoes. Its such a mindset to put my kids first, put Robert first. It felt really great though to take care of myself in this tangible way.

Inspiration comes in many forms. Blogs, friends, conversations, places, tidbits of information from books and magazines. I feel like I'm reawakening from the baby fog-and remembering how much of who I was and who I want to be.

Pioneer Woman said something that struck a chord in me: I’m just going to shift down a gear for a short time, posting a little less frequently so I can remain in high gear in the cooking, homeschooling—and nurturing—realm of my life.

I can't relate to the homeschooling, but I can relate to wanting to remain in high gear for everything else. Life is a journey, and I want to soak it up.
