Mindful Mama - Day 4

[Mrs. C]

Where to begin? Today has been a whirlwind! I woke up to find that Baby Bear 's diaper had leaked, and because we cosleep, it leaked right onto Mama. (Oh, motherhood!) But, before I realized this, I made the affirmation that I would give joyously.

I've been in a rut with my spiritual life. But, today God blessed me with a breakthrough and I had a soul -soaring experience. It was a true gift.
After service, my hubs, BB, and I enjoyed some lazy Sunday time at home. By the time 6:30 came around, I realized my gift for the day would be to my son. I walked to the park, and pushed him on the swing. Reflecting on this, this should be a daily occurrence, and not a gift. I love hearing that beautiful laugh, and have no excuse not to be a more active mom to my baby boy. I am committing to get outside and be a more active mother for my son. He deserves the gift of a healthy mama, and a great childhood. I want to give that to him.

Today I am thankful for:
1. Forgiveness
2. New-found education on natural cleaning / healthy eating
3. My washer & dryer

* I also wanted to note that this is the second day and opportunity in a row that I rejected a chance to give to strangers, because I was afraid of their reaction. I'm annoyed with myself. I'm tired of saying no to life.

Here's to a new tomorrow!

The time you devote to you precious child are wonderful memories in the making...As you  move along through your challenge, you  may find it a little easier to gift to those outside of the family..but if not, giving to your family is pretty perfect!
