Broken Women...

Mondays seem to be deep days for me.  I get to enjoy a nice weekend with family and then at some point in time on Sunday night my mind starts to wander and I come up with weird ideas and deep thoughts.  Yesterday I sat down and started to think about the broken women around me (including myself).

When I say broken I am talking about women who have taken a back seat and are no longer making themselves their first priority.  I always hear family members, friends, random neighbors tell me about how they don't have time for themselves.  Its one thing to say this, but it is truly another thing when you can visibly see someone who does not take care of themselves.  They tend to have a high stress life with crazy work and kids schedules.  I am not saying that all of us need to be trim and fit but I do think we should take some time to ourselves and go out for a nice walk, run, etc.  This way we get some fresh air and some time to ourselves.

Lately I am telling myself to make extra effort to do things for me.  Meaning, go to the gym, enjoy a nice brunch with some close friends, take the time out to get my hair done.  Try to have at least mascara or lip gloss on my face, not be shy about getting dressed up even if I don't have anywhere to go.  I truly believe that when you feel good about yourself, you truly do look good as well!  So for all my diva-less moms out there, lets make a pledge to take an extra 10 mins for ourselves...we are truly worth it!
