When I was reading summertimes Thread about Felling ugly, I noticed that ALOT of us feel the same way on a daily basis.. I think it is because we Do EVERYTHING for our Husband and Children and rarely Spend time or money on ourselves... I would LOVE it if we all made the EXTRA effort to do 1 thing a day for OURSELVES!
I meditate and every day. I keep my house clean for myself and those I love. And every Tuesday I give myself a facial, a manicure, a pedicure, deep condition my hair, and exfoliate my skin. I also set aside at least 15 minutes each day (although it always runs longer) to read, talk on the phone, or do non-work things on my computer. Today signing into Momzone was what I chose to do for myself.
You won't be happy with more until you're happy with what you've got.
I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet simple things of life which are the real ones after all.

He said to me, "My grace is enough for you, for in weakness power reaches perfection" 2 Cor 12:9
I let myself in the past week....and I really needed it!

Although I didn't do it today, I know that it is going to carry me for a while. I slept over at my best friend's house the evening of my birthday and we stayed up until 1am talking. It was nice to just be "me" for a while instead being distracted by all the things that I do as a wife and mother. I am grateful for my husband who was willing to fly solo for a while, but my son also was ful because he went to bed early and slept in.
