Right now I am a busy mama of two, striving for the balance that I’ve neglected for the last 3+ years. I often feel that I’ve lost touch with myself, my intellect and social skills being the biggest victims. I have finally recognized that I can be a better person for them if I put myself first every once in awhile. Right now is challenging.
Right now is my daughter sneaking away from playing with her cousins (whom she adores) at family gatherings to draw a picture just for me. My son giving sloppy, open-mouthed kisses on my nose before bed time. My husband offering to do all the grocery shopping with both kids in tow so that I can have some time to myself. Right now is wonderful.
Right now is change and growth, relying on little more than love and our instincts to guide us in the right direction. Right now is extraordinary.
