Moments alone.
There are moments in time that I feel this need to just be alone with my thoughts. This isn’t to say I am not happy with my life. My life is often focused more on those around me than myself. Most people with families or children can understand this. There are clothes to be washed, lessons to be supervised, bills to be paid, and work to be done. In the in between moments I am thinking about my children and what they need or things about them that concern me. I often forget to think for a moment about myself and my own needs and dreams. In the quiet moments of the day that are all mine I often just sit and mindlessly stare into my backyard. The quiet of it all wraps around me. It is then that I think about where I am in life and what I want. Sometime I just read a magazine or book. It doesn’t have to be anything particular. Trust me I even would read a clinislim review if it took me out of the here and now just for a moment. Those little moments alone away from my present world are ones I treasure. They allow me to return to the here and now with better focus and patience for my family. I am learning to tuck my children in and take those moments for just me because ultimately it is better for them as well.
