VALUE IN YOUR OWN JOY

My Mother said to me recently, “it takes so much work to be sad.” “be happy. It’s so much easier.” Sometimes easier said than done I think. But is it really? Isn’t happiness a choice? Choose joy.

There is value in your own joy. In fact, I’m pretty positive about it. Here’s why.

C-SECTION FAIL

I’m pretty sure I told my sister I would have a natural birth. And by natural I meant, no drugs, only candles lit, calm, quiet breathing, perfect natural birth. Also, that Sarah McLachlan would be playing in the background.  I’m also pretty sure this was before I was pregnant with my first child. And probably before I was married. 

SAVING FACE

I'm kinda not into aging if I'm honest. But I know it's inevitable. And what I mostly don't like about it is knowing it's coming and that means time is slipping away and my babies will be grown before I know it. And then I just want to cry. But here's the thing, time moves despite how much you cry or don't cry, and crying makes a frown on your face and that gives you wrinkles (so they say). So in the meantime, I'm trying anything and everything that makes me feel like I still have a pretty face. Plus, Mom says your 40's are your best years so you better milk it. And for the record I'll still be trying anything and everything in my 60's so stay tuned.
