And Life Just Keeps Rolling On

It's amazing that no matter how much day to day life appears to stay the same that huge changes are happening below the surface. I have been feeling pretty old lately. Registering Bo for junior high was the catalyst, and then my baby, my sunshine turned five. Either one of these events by itself would probably have been fine but to have them back to back was hard.

Mag has been an awesome child. I have really enjoyed him as a baby, toddler, and preschooler. I call him my sunshine because everyday he does at least one thing to make me smile.He came along at the right point in our lives that I was able to enjoy each stage of his life to the fullest. I am excited that he is getting bigger, but I am also sad that my baby is growing up.

The other thing I wanted to touch on in this post is self confidence. Something I feel like I have enough of (and I'm sure other people think I have to much of). Lately I have had several friends come to me and complain about being to fat or to skinny, or their boobs are to small, or their nose is to big. It makes me sad. Should we strive ot be the best selfs we can be? Yes of course we should. But beating yourself up about things that aren't going to matter in the long run seems like a waste of time. For a long time my attitude has been that I love me, I think I'm great if you don't that's really your problem not mine. I wish more people had the same way of thinking, it would make the world a more interesting, beautiful place
