Today is the day

This is it! Today is the day! Today is the day I will eat better, work out (at least get in a good run with the jogging stroller).....I will take a shower and look presentable (ok, acceptable). I will be super mom, cook dinner, and finally start that blog I have been thinking about starting forever......

Nice thought huh? Well, maybe I was wrong. Maybe tomorrow is the day. Maybe today calls for a few edits and deletions on the to-do list. I mean, sometimes smelling good is overrated and a bowl of cereal counts as dinner, right?

Buy hey, the blog is started! That accomplishment alone erases at least five other things off the list anyhow. And just maybe, there is another smelly mom munching on a bowl of cheerios (plain because you forgot to buy the honey nut kind for yourself)who found a moment in her day to sit down. One who can relate to my life and maybe even feel inspired to carve out time in her busy life to do some of the things that make her remember the person she is inside--that person she spent years focusing on improving before she gently placed it aside the moment she laid eyes on her perfect little miracle. And now its crammed under a pile of blocks....behind the choo choo train, in front of the changing table, and you can't remember where the heck you even put it in the first place!

We, as women and as moms, must remember to support each other. To help remind each other that we are not alone. That the thoughts that swirl around in our minds, the inner struggles we wrestle with, are more universal than you think. We must remember that under all the titles we have is a person. A human being with hopes and dreams dying to be accomplished; and fears and struggles waiting to be overcome. That person inside cannot be put on the back burner for 18 years or until retirement. Your purpose it too important to be ignored until you have the time and energy to pay attention to it.
