Getting back to ALL things ME

For some reason I was wired with a one-track mind. It became obvious to me when I realized that God knew I was to be an at-home Mom because I would either focus all of my energy on WORK or on MOTHERHOOD. Clearly, not all women are this way, but I most definitely am. That said, when I turn my focus to a new goal or project, other things begin to fall away. This blog is evidence of that. I love writing. There is something, for me, that is so very special about allowing my fingers to tell the tale my brain can't formulate quickly enough for my mouth to speak. It's been this way for me since I was eight years old.

When I started writing as a child, I thought a whole new world had opened up for me! Well, it had! I was very quiet as a child so writing quickly became my favorite mode of conversation. As the years go by, I find more and more things that pique my interest and writing, from time to time, takes a backseat - or worse yet - it gets put out of the car! This was the case in the past few months. Although I think of it often, I haven't written a thought down on paper, or blog, in months. Lately my mind has been all over the place, but specifically on my weight-loss goal and my latest career dream.

I'll go more into the career dream later, but since August 2011, I have lost 26 pounds. It's one of my greatest accomplishments in a very long time. It was a goal I set for myself, to lose 20 pounds, and it was something only I could do for myself. This weight loss took a ton of prayer, effort, focus, sacrifice, and CARDIO! And it was all on me to do to reach the goal I set. I still have six pounds that refuse to budge, then I would like to set another goal for myself after those six go packing.

Needless to say, the gym has been on my weekly list of to-dos so much lately that I feel like my car could get there on auto-pilot! It's time for me to remember all of the things I love, writing being one of them. I'm going to do my best because I deserve nothing less!! Plus, there's so much going on in my life regarding the kids AND summer is coming! No way can I let this time go by without chronicling it all here! It is my memory bank where the most precious memories in my world go so I can look back and reminisce when my babies truly are no longer babies. I had better start depositing again!
