There's a gentle rain outside my window. It's one of the most soothing sounds for my soul. Just add some rolling thunder in the background, and I'd be purring like a kitten.
Except I hate cats. I'm a dog person.
But I digress. The soothing rain is the perfect backdrop for my post. Because I need to relax. Because I decided to bring back the blog. And it's stressing me out just a bit.
You see, I'm a full time working mom. Working 40 hours a week while trying to raise two sweet boys, keeping my marriage fresh and fun, maintaining a warm home, building and keeping friendships, and also taking care of myself, well, it's all rather exhausting. So how could I possibly fit time in to blog?
I just need to make the time. It needs to be a priority. Because really, I'm bringing back the blog because I need to do something for me.
Since becoming a mother a few years ago, I've stopped putting myself first. Or second. Or even third...I'm not sure where I rank on my own scale. And at first it was okay. In fact, it was wonderful. There was nothing I wanted more than to invest myself completely into my new little family. But lately, I feel like I've lost myself a little bit. And I want to find myself again.
So I'm going back to writing. To find myself. It's going to be quite an adventure. And I'd like you to come with me. Who knows what I'll find? Let's find it together.
Because maybe as I find myself, you'll find a bit of yourself too. It can be stressful and scary, this "finding yourself" business. But it can also be exciting.
So I'm grateful for this peaceful rain soothing my soul. Because I'm about to bare my soul to you.
