So today I went and got a massage with a gift cert Darren got me for Christmas. It expires after 6 months and this is the first time I have had a chance to use it.
So the massage was for an hour and it was the BEST massage I have ever had. It was AMAZING!!! It was the aroma massage and they use all these oils and it was soo relaxing. My favorite part was when they wrapped my feet in these hot towels! I also like when they massage my fingers and toes. I am very ticklish so the toes are really hard for me hehe.
This has made me think about my life right now. I realize that I am finally able to focus on myself again after being just mommy for over 6 years. I am taking the cake decorating classes for me just for fun, taking sewing classes just for me bc I like to make stuff, and really focusing on who I am and who I want to be in life.
I am really loving this stage. I am able to build great relationships with my friends and I get to be me!
Getting a good massage is good for the soul. I am glad you had the chance to get one. Bless Darren - what a good hubby he seems to be! You and I seem to be on parallel tracks right now in life. While you are much younger that I am, we both are taking some time to refuel ourselves and evaluate life in general. For me, focusing on growing, expanding my exposure to the world and learning for the past year has been critical to me being a better person to be around. One of the bonuses to this journey is the fact that we met and have become friends. I am so happy for that! I have had one incident that causes me to give you one word of caution: I had several weeks where I was so wrapped up in my new explorations, that I accidentally ignored a very old and dear friend. I was wrapped up for several weekends with Pampered Chef, Bunco, Bunco Mania, Writer's Workshops, one thing after another. Since we both work full time, those weekends are precious and action packed. I didn't take time to tend my garden of blessings I already had bc I was trying to plant new blessings. Thank God, she called me on the carpet about it rather than wrote me off! I love her and would never hurt her for the world. Funny tho... once I explained my restlessness and need for renewal in my life, she is now embarking on her own similar journey! Keep going Kathy - discovering your talents, focusing on growing in all ways can only make you stronger individually, which in turn makes for a great partner, mom and friend!
