"Life shrinks or expands according to one's courage."
ha-ha The quote has nothing to do with the picture. I read this today and was thinking about myself. I feel like I am at a crossroads right now. I can choose to let myself be consumed in my current life and not let a whole lot else in or...I can do that AND continue to improve myself, expand my horizons, and continue to learn. I can let it go either way. I have heard stories about either option. Mothers who end up feeling like their life isn't interesting anymore. I am determined not to let that happen. (I am not demeaning my role at all, I'm just saying there are 2 ways I could go with it) I could let my world shrink if I merely allow my days to pass by by dealing only with what is given me or I could allow it to expand by doing that and continuing to improve myself. To keep myself an interesting person. (to myself and my husband :))

I have to constantly remind myself of this very truth. Mothering is definitely a job where you need to constantly kick your own butt into action. Especially when it comes to making time for non-mothering interests.
