Happiness is a new handbag...or is it?



Today I decided to go back to Weight Watchers. This is a gift for me as the mom. Sometimes you have to do something for you. We spend all of our day taking care of others, our family, our children, the house, dogs, etc and when do we have time for ourselves? This is something that I wrestle with every single day. When do I have time for me? It's not that there isn't time given to me, but I don't think that I give it to myself. I think that a lot of us do this to ourselves. We are super mom's - we do everything for everyone except for ourselves. So, today I decided to claim some of that time back for me b/c I think in the end that will make me a better mom, wife and person. When you are happier you are better at what you do for everyone. I try this every year. I go back to ww and stop b/c I claim that I am too busy to go weigh in, go to a meeting, stop and do something for me. I love handbags. Why? Because you don't have try them on silly. It's so simple and so transparent! I just love them. I could buy one every day but not this year! I am going to try not to buy handbags because I will be able to stand to look at myself in the mirror because I have done something that is good for me, my health, my family and slightly selfish. So...if anyone is reading, listening, do something for yourself...it might just make you a bit happer and healthier also! Happy 2010.
