This year I am trying to do a simple goal each month throughout the year. For January I got rid of social media on my phone and tried to "live in the moment" and put my phone down. I was a little nervous as I love instagram and checking in on all my friends. But I did not miss it at all!! I loved being more present in the simple/boring moments of life. When I sit next to scarlett doing her homework I am more engaged and not on my phone. When Jack is playing outside I actually watch and enjoy his smile instead of check my phone. It has been so refreshing to take a break from other peoples lives on social media and focus on my own. I will go back to it on my phone eventually but will change how I look at it and who I follow. No more following stores and shops that just drive me to spend more money. No more following "fashion bloggers" that make me dissatisfied with my wardrobe and house. I didn't even realize that I felt that way until I distanced myself from social media. I feel that following friends and family is wonderful but other shops and people is a waste of my thought and time. So here is to February and a new goal!
January has been filled with me starting to train for my marathon in April. It has been a physically hard month as I have had to adjust to waking up at 5am every morning except Sunday. But I love training with Emily and all my wonderful friends. They are all such inspiring women and mothers. As we run we never listen to music or "plug in". Instead, we take turns talking to each other and instigating good conversation. I love learning more about these women and not just running next to them. 2 days ago we ran 16 miles along a rocky, hilly trail, and we all loved it!! Not one of the 10 women brought headphones and we all enjoyed wonderful conversation as we watched the sunrise over the mountains. It was gorgeous and inspiring! When I was done I felt so renewed to be a better version of myself. So here is to another month of training!
Jack has become upsets with dressing up in all the girls princess dresses.
