Want to get away with me?
Kids are currently napping, and I’m watching Friends.
I’ve decided to sit on our couch with my daughter’s Minnie blanket and escape into my head. Its a pleasure and a privilege to have the chance to be home with kids. The thought to be in my small house with two children was nerving, but its intimate and slow.
We take our time, we make our own schedule and its our reality. I do compare to many social media’s “reality.” Mentally, Its a hard game to play for life expectations compared to social media’s life, but once I begin to be grateful for what I have. I found a breath of fresh air. (metaphorically)
I mean we have a lot of land so I can do that literally as well. The land is beautiful.
A breath, like a deep breath, can be life changing depending on the time of day over here. At the end of the day, during our witching hours, those deep breaths are saving grace. “breath of life.” We’ve got to take a breath sometime, while breathing remember to be grateful. Think of just one thing. Look around your space and find something brings your gratitude.
This year is my year to take it slow. In the slowness, there is stillness and in the stillness there is peace. Currently, I’m making sourdough bread, not very well, but learning. I never knew how long that would take, but I’m grateful for the reward. Its delicious! Its simple ,slow and you don’t have to think very hard. In fact, I think when you do; its harder.
StoryTime: We were going through a tunnel (UNDER WATER-which freaks me out!) I felt we were going very fast! Then I looked to the lights on the side (Per my husbands advice) and we were going very slow. Isn’t it funny depending on what you look at, it can either be terrifying or completely normal.
I hope this can be a place you feel comfortable. My mission with this page is to connect to moms who feel burnt out or #mumblednumb, stuck in their thoughts because of Social Media and all the other moms to compare too. So please don’t compare to me. I’m really nothing, but everything I should be. So be who you should because nobody wants to miss out on that!
