So... have any of you made resolutions to yourself about anything that you wanted to accomplish this year? I know that I have... getting some of this weight finally off and a lot of other things. How are things going? I hope that you have been able to stay on track and reap the benefits of the resolution to yourself.
I have come to realize that no matter how much we might say that it is a personal thing - a resolution - it actually isn't "personal" perse... when you have people that deeply care and want to help you, the resolution actually becomes a "family" resolution.
For instance... let's say that you want to go to the gym more often, well, if you have a child, you must spend time with your child. And like me, I am sure that you love spending time with your child/ren.
So that becomes something that you and your child must do together... whether that is getting a membership for your child to the gym - if they are of age to join - or getting them a membership to the kids play area so that you are able to work out and they can have some much needed play time with other kids.
So again... it's not just you that it affects.
That is just one example, that is very close to home for me, which I am sure that there was other instances that something that you made a promise or resolution to do something for yourself, and it just doesn't turn out to be just for you.
When you are married, in a partnership or even have children... it's a family affair.
At times we might see this as a problem... when in reality we shouldn't.
There are times when we want to be able to do things on our own but just like it "takes a village to raise a child", it takes a family (or support) in order for us to achieve our goals.
I know... I know... we should be able to support ourselves in our own journey's, but we didn't get here alone, so why should we reap the benefits of our hard work alone? I guess as women, we might think that if we don't think for ourselves, we are being weak... but being weak is what you are doing by not asking for help or being grateful for the help that is being offered.
Well, this was supposed to be yesterday's post but things got crazy at home and I wasn't able to finish it.
But it's the end of the month here at work... and on Monday, we will be into a new month! How exciting!
We have a holiday next week and we will be working a short week... I cannot wait!
On the ovulation front, my last two morning's tests have come back negative... so there are still days to test. Keeping positive!
My life lately has been hanging with the princess... cooking after getting home from either work or the gym... laundry... gym... and work. LOL!! Hopefully this weekend I will be able to change it up a little. ☺
Have a wonderful afternoon..
And a fabulous weekend!
Sending light ☼... love ♥... happiness ☺ and music ♫ your way!
