I couldn't be more excited for this weekend. My Godparents are moving and we are working on their new house. We are painting, putting down flooring, and getting things ready to move in. The reason that I am so excited about this is that they have rented a cabin for us at a resort that I grew up going to. I get to take Joseph with me and show him around this place that I have so many memories from.
Of course, he's super small and probably won't remember it. That's besides the point. Most memories at this time of their life are for the adults anyway. But I want to talk to you about taking time for yourself. As a new mom, I have learned that I tend to make sure everyone else is taken care of and I'm left in the dust. Doing something for myself includes going to bed early. I've started, attempting to more or less, finding a day for myself.
One day a week where I do something for me. 2 years ago it was Sunday when I would go to the track and walk. I had gotten up to 5 miles a week by the end of summer. I'm super excited about starting up again and taking Joseph with me. What I'm saying, is that we spend so much time pouring out into other peoples lives that we forget to take time for us. We forget to have fun every once and a while.
I know that life is crazy busy and stressful but you HAVE to let your hair down once in a while. If you don't, you will turn into someone who isn't fun to be around. So this weekend, in the midst of your trouble and stress. Take one hour. Put all that aside. Enjoy the day. Read a portion of a book. Go to see a movie. Do something that makes you happy. If you don't know what that is, make an adventure out of finding out what makes you happy!!!
