Womens-Place

I went to the gym today with Tim and was working out…was wondering why taking care of your self gets put on the back burner so much.  I had a really good time and enjoyed a few hours out of the house.  I worked hard to lose 250 pounds and decided that I want to not work out to get a “ripped oh baby look”…but to feel good not just physically but in my mind too. Finding self-worth for me is amazing. Yes, being a mom of 8 children, wife, sister, aunt, daughter, friend are all so important to me but they do not give me self worth. Self worth? I want to know where do you get your self worth from? I am discovering my self-worth comes from with in myself…the joy I feel being who I am and who I can become. To better myself everyday. To accept the things that life throws at me and fight for what I believe in. To love and walk in peace. I am sure there is so much more I need to know about self worth…I think I will be back with this topic.

As March 27th approaches, I have been thinking so much about love, marriage and intimacy.  Tim and I will be married 11 years coming up and I think of the “wow” in our lives.  We have walked and endure many trials, losses, medical issues that I think could have caused us many times to just run in different directions. The glue to marriage for us is honesty, communication, our faith, not blaming one another and clinging to one another in the times of desperation and in times of joy.  Life is going to be radical and out of our control.  Standing arm in arm honoring your vows and remembering for better or worse that is a vital organ that needs your attention. When you take the time to really tell your significant other on a daily basis something simple as thank you, I love you, your beautiful, dinner was awesome…you plant a seed that will get nourish over the many years to come.
