LIFE IS IN MOTION

Nothing reminds me that life is in forward motion like my kids do. We just celebrated our youngest 1st birthday on Monday. I feel like it just crept up on me. I don't know where the time has gone. I admit that most of the time I still feel like I am in my early 20's! It must be all the working out, lol. As I continue to watch my children get older and learn new things I am reminded that I too am getting older. So much of my time right now goes into raising my kids that I forget about myself. I have some personal goals that I am striving to reach and I can't forget to work on them. I am constantly reminding myself to take time for me. I feel guilty when I tell them no or wait because I am working on things for myself but I realize that it's OK. I want my kids to know that life isn't always about them all the time and it's OK to consider others. It's very hard to instill this in them while living in this "instant gratification" fast paced generation. I often find myself getting so frustrated with having to wait just 1 to 2 minutes. When my Google doesn't ping to life the instant I push the button I will push it again or reopen it in a new window. It's no wonder I see my kids huff and puff when I tell them to wait, they see me do the same thing. I am striving to be a better person by finding a balance of considering others while not neglecting myself. Finding peace in an otherwise chaotic world.
