Observant

 How observant are you with those around you? I would say I am sometimes too observant, I take little changes in mood, body language to heart. I am always feeling like I am not enough, maybe this is a mom thing, a wife thing, a friend thing, but it always feels like I could be better so I am overly observant. 

When did I lose being me, knowing that I am trying my hardest and that sometimes my hardest isn't going to be good enough, but that is OK. When did I become so wrapped up in everyone else and the world around me, waiting watching hoping praying, but never do that for me but for others. Being observant is so many things, but sometimes we need to be more observant of ourselves, taking care of ourselves, listening and watching our bodies and minds. Because we are so important to so many people around us, that if we aren't observant of ourselves sometimes we fail more. 

I am challenging all of you to observe yourselves, not your friends, kids, husbands, families, but just you. For a day pay attention to you I think it will help reduce your stress, remind you that you are an amazing human being.

Sunrise

I am back!! 

Not sure there is a better Five Minute Friday prompt for this post. The sunrise says "Here is a new day, another adventure, another chance, make the best of it, make memories"

We are in a sunrise of becoming empty nesters, neither of us is excited about this, we have loved being parents, loved spending time with our girls and their friends, gaining friends from kids sports and friends, it has been an adventure that we have cherished every moment of and lost ourselves in.  We are learning that our next adventure will be fabulous too, we truly do like each other, respect each other, have fun together and can't wait to see what the future holds for our girls and us. We are all growing in this new sunrise, and I can't wait to share the adventures!!

3 Wonderful Things

So it has been awhile...

I can't promise I will keep up, but today I feel pressed to post. I saw a journal prompt that stated to list three wonderful things you see when you look in the mirror.

1. My smile, it lights up my face. It is genuine and it's shows my imperfect side as it is a little crooked. I love it. 

2. My eyes they shoe my soul. I am pretty sure I wear my heart on my sleeve and my emotions can be felt through my eyes. Sad, mad, happy it is all there for the world.

3. My pink cheeks. My family calls it the Baker Blush, I don't need blush as my cheeks always have a little pink to them and I always used to hate it. Now they are just part of me.

What are three things you see when you look in the mirror?
