I took some unplanned vacation days last week. I needed some down time. I needed to be alone and sleep and think and do some Mommy things. I did not train jiu jitsu at all last week. My mind was just not right. I may not train this week either. I have a lot going on with the kids this week and a lot going on at work and I just don’t know if I am up to it mentally. Tonight I will go do cardio kickboxing. On Wednesday, my daughter and I will go look for her a new party dress. She’s been invited to her first Quinceañera (for you gringos out there, that’s a birthday party for a 15 year old girl). It’s a big deal and she’s got to have a new dress (or at least that’s what she’s convinced me of….gullible Mom here). She’s got another one to go to this summer, so this dress is going to have to do for both parties…because this Mom is not that gullible. So I hope this week finds everyone right where they need to be…happy and healthy and content. Life is a journey, not a destination. <--That’s my new mantra. It reminds me to slow down and enjoy the little things. It reminds me not to sweat the small stuff. It reminds me that I don’t have to keep up with anyone else but myself. It reminds me that this isn’t a race to the finish line and that I can go as slow as I need to. It reminds me that it’s okay to be slow. It reminds me that my family is the most important thing, and I’m slowing down so I don’t miss out on the important stuff…like dress shopping with my daughter for 15 year old birthday parties! :D
sometimes we all need to be reminded of what is truly important in life; our families. Dress shoping to playing in the backyard, etc. Thank you for the reminder to slow down.
