    1/10 Absent

    Have you ever looked at yourself or someone clse close to you and not recognize the person staring back?  I have... I was just looking at my husbandand myself in a picture and I did not know who I was looking at.  We both look like strangers.  I feel like I have missed the last 10 years of my life.  Have I been so busy letting myself go and denying that anything was wrong that I lost time?  Are all the everyday worries of life, like bills and money, bogging me so far down that I am ignoring the important things in life.  What about my children, have I been an attentive mother, have I given them all of me or just a shell of who I really am?  I took a look at the video of me and my girls and I look so distant, I look like there are 10 million other things running through my mind.  I am trying to get myself into this and get myself healthy for my babies, but I need to also clean my mind of all the junk and get myself into life before I miss it.  I am going to continue my path to body health, but now I have added a new resolution to put my mind on a diet.  Teach my mind to let go of the things that just don't matter, we'll call this the junk food, and to absorb all the important things going on around me, we'll call this my minds health food.  This will make my journey a little harder, but I am going to do this because being there mind, body, and spirit for even a shortened life is better than not being there for 100 yrs.  So what I pledge for this coming week is to be there when my children want me, to be there when my husband needs me, and to be there for myself when my mind, body, and spirit need a rest.  So begins another journey, pray that it only ends when ALL of me is better.
