Reflections of  My Life

                                                 My Bloom Today: Reflections of My Life


This photograph was taken yesterday when I went on a walk with my dog.
Now that I am just a month away from my 59th Birthday, I find myself reflecting on my life.
There's a quote that I love by Barbara De Angelis "Women need real moments of solitude and self-
reflection to balance how much of ourselves we give away."
Through the years, just as most women do, I have not taken time for those real moments as much as I needed. Women tend to put others before themselves. They give away so much of ourselves, eventually, it usually catches up to us, am I right?
I raised three daughters and tried to let them know that it is not selfish to take that time for yourself, just as my mom did with me. I do see them taking some time for themselves, so maybe they did hear me.
I fall into a pattern sometimes, not taking that time for solitude and self-reflection to keep that balance. Once in awhile, I have to remind myself and hear my own words.Please remember to take time for yourself.
