Good Morning Monday! A new week, new goals, and new perspective. Lately and most often in my life I feel the need to SIMPLIFY (: It’s as if I’m always saying we’re only busy for this one short time, it will be over soon, or life will calm down…I’ve come to the reality that it never does. That’s o.k. as long as perspective and priorities are in check. Sometimes in the early morning hours random thoughts and ideas come to mind. My lucky husband gets to listen to me think through my half sleepy 4 a.m. inspirations! Right now my brain is focused on training for Boston, helping with the school’s musical, and personal training. After the marathon I really want to change my schedule.
I look at my kids and my friend’s kids and we’re starting to send off our oldest and most of our kids are all in school. I’m not one to dwell on the past or wish my kids would stay young forever, but I want to look back and know that I was there for them and that they knew and felt how much I loved them! My oldest will be out of the house in just a little over two years and though it brings tears to my eyes, they are happy tears of wonderful memories. I want to have more remembrances of going on walks, playing outside, and reading books rather than times of rushing from place to place. I want to be healthy and teach my kids the importance of eating well and exercising but I don’t want to be remembered as the crazy Mom who was always exercising and making them eat weird food (: That makes me laugh because I might need to claim that one!
Here’s to TODAY! Another new day and week to work hard, accomplish more, and LOVE every minute of it! I need to put some quotes and pictures in my weight room and here are a few of my favorites that I might be using! Never forget (:
I’ll add a couple songs for Music Monday too. Wednesday I’ll be ALL talk about my fitness and health challenges for the next MONTH!! Florida is coming up and I’m trying to be a bit of a perfectionist with how I want to look (: Can’t wait!!!
