- everyone sleeping soundly all night and waking at 8:30
- getting lea's first potty and seeing her start to associate with it and what it's for
- the crate of strawberries on our counter and knowing it will soon be homemade jam....yummy!
- jeff and i reconnecting in many ways
- how lea kisses me on the hand when we're walking to signal wanting a real kiss. there is nothing more precious in the world to me
nugget: it's easy to fall into the belief that we need to mold ourselves in order to fit into all the roles we play in life. however, this molding can cause resentment, loneliness, and fear that we have lost who we are. i see now how important it is to
first define who we are and let our roles
mold into us. it's helped me to stop reacting to the emotions, choices, and beliefs around me and start checking in more to me; how i feel, what i believe, what choices i want to make. it helps me take responsibility for myself. all the things i had constantly wished would change are no longer an obstacle. all the people i would get frustrated with because they weren't this way or that are no longer obstacles to reach my dreams. defining myself first means making a choice about how i want to engage in any situation. every moment presents a new opportunity to shift my state of mind, and therefore my life.
