Take Time to Make Time.

In this busy world we live in its sometimes easy to lose track of our identity, to become just another face in the crowd It’s even harder for us ladies to keep track because we have to be so much to so many for so long; We are the dutiful daughter, finding time and often resources, to help out Mom or Dad when they need us. We are the sensible sister, always there for our siblings, ready with helpful advice and comfort on demand. We are the adored aunt, babysitter extraordinaire, confidante and go between in family feuds. We are the magnificent Mom, juggling work and home like a circus performer and still finding time to listen to our offspring’s woes and complaints. We are the sexy spouse, taking pains to keep our husbands happy and at home. We are the Cordon Bleu chef, serving up tantalizing delicacies for the delectation of our friends and family. We are the accomplished and efficient personal assistant to the blah, blah, blah de blah!
O.K., but who are we REALLY? Deep down inside there lurks another entity, one only you really, really know. It’s the one whose hopes and dreams are on hold just until---- the kids are older, your husband gets his promotion, your Mom has her operation, your sister moves into her new house, etc .etc. etc. Maybe one day you’ll actually get to fulfill them, that’s if you’re not too old by then, of course!
Why not now? If you can make time to cram in the one thousand menial every day chores, then you can make time for YOU. Just get up one morning and decide that this is THE day. The day that you begin living your life as the real you. You will write the first chapter of your novel, take your first piano lesson, learn to ride a horse, take Spanish classes or you will just take an hour out of your day to sip on your favorite drink, be it herbal tea or fine wine, while perusing your favorite magazine or novel! You will be amazed at how different you feel right from day one. The real you has finally surfaced, keep it up!.
