Today for ME

Some days seem to be so long for whatever reason, today was one of those days for me. After working my shift at the YMCA, I stayed behind an extra hour for a workout. Now I am tired--really tired and have to go back to the Y in 40 mins. to take the kids to swimming lessons. Maybe I will soak in the hot tub while they are in class....

Tomorrow I am heading out to visit new baby Pearce. It has been a long time since I've held a newborn. I often wonder if I could ever go through that stage again, I'm thinking not. My kids are 'middlers' now and I have grown too used to their independance. I have been seriously making the most of this stage in life by investing in me, myself and I. I am trying to take care of my whole being--body mind and spirit.

Some of the main ways I have been doing this is visiting a spiritual director, becoming more serious about exercise and now, seriously considering going back to school. I still have a long way to go, but at least I am on my way.

Before I head out early in the morning I think I will curl up in a blanket and finish my book. Yes, that sounds like a very good idea to me.
