Last day.. My reflection in the mirror... Hmm Well its interesting, I see a lot of different things when I look at myself. When I look at my physical features i think to myself: Hmm I'm not sure if i prefer my curly perm do, or the all natural straight look that was mine for 25 years. I see my facial flaws (or what I consider flaws) and think, hmm I should pop that.. or man I wish the dark circles would go away (I've had them since I was a kid). I see the body of a mother and think.. Well.. it could be worse I guess. I'm proud of what it took to get it that way, but its surreal and slightly disappointing to not be the tight perky little thing I was 4 or so years ago. I'm excited to get done having babies (in like 5 or so years haha) so I can get back into shape and STAY that way :) But I'm WAY more excited to have all the babies I'm given. :oD
When I look into the mirror and "reflect" on my non-physical features.. I think about myself as a wife, and how I long to feel complete again with my husband at my side. I think about myself as a mother and how much I can't wait for more growth in our family. Not just the literal sense of adding more kiddo's but also growth together, I look forward to getting to know each of my children as their personalities develop and change through out the years. I look forward to getting to know my husband as we grow and change and develop our relationship more and much deeper. There is a lot of life left to live and all the experiences and relationships will change what I see when I look in the mirror. I can't wait to know what I will see in my reflection in 30+ years, Who will I be then, what will I look like? (hopefully still young looking thanks to Artistry) ;) hehe
Well, that's the end of the September Blog challenge... it was fun while it lasted but I'm a little burnt out.. I might have to wait on my "October challenge". We'll see how the day pans out. :)
Happy Fall everyone!! October is beautiful so far!!
