Reinvention

Well my blog has been neglected for quite some time now... and it seems like I get into this same pattern where I intend to do a better job with updating this space, but sometimes that just doesn't work out as planned... I started this blog 6 years ago around this time of year.  I love that I can come back to it to look back on how I was feeling during certain seasons of my life.  I also fully intend for it to be left as something Gia can read when she's older to get a more in depth glimpse on "who" I am.
My last post on here was our Christmas memories... 9 months later a lot has happened and I can't wait to get caught up.

Every season I get so excited because it feels like a time for new beginnings.  Fall just happens to be one of those times where I feel like a fresh start is in order.  Fresh air comes after surviving the heat and humidity of the summer... and also a new routine that comes once the "lazy days of summer" (which hardly exist anymore, right?!) are behind us in the anticipation of the upcoming holiday season.

One thing I've learned lately is life is just busy... and that's how it goes for everyone.  No matter what is going on at any point in your life we always just feel BUSY.  Then when LIFE happens, which it most certainly does, it piles on hefty doses of reality checks. Here I am at 31 years old with more blessings than I can even count.  I really try hard to keep things in perspective and be thankful even in the hard times, and sometimes I just feel like I'm struggling to stay afloat.  There are a lot of things I wish I had more in order, but I'm almost positive that I'm not alone, and maybe there's a chance I will  feel like this at every season of life... but for now a reinvention is weighing on me.  I want to reevaluate what REALLY brings me joy... I want to strive even harder to be the best wife, mama, daughter, sister, friend, employee, etc... and what it takes and means to be that person.  I want to quit sweating the small stuff.. I want to be in the best freaking shape of my life and quit quitting on myself... I want to be a morning person... and most of all I just want to enjoy every little thing... and sometimes taking a step back and writing out my random thoughts in a blog post is a great place to start... :) stay tuned...
