Do you ever have such a huge event happen in your life, and you find yourself taking a break from everything just so you can enjoy that “thing”? Haha, well that’s what i did. Oops.

I found out a little bit ago, that i am pregnant, again. I know, it’s always great to get news like that and you want to share and tell everyone and post about it. But i wanted to enjoy this. It was such a surprise that i didn’t even know how to react but when it finally started to become a reality for me, the only thing i knew for sure was i wanted me and my Husband and our son to enjoy it as a family. When i got pregnant the first time, there was no excitement. I was 18 and still in high school. It was nothing but fear and worry. So i wanted to really enjoy this news this time. We haven’t even announced it yet, but i’m not worried anyone will find it on my blog. Haha, but don’t tell anyone.

It made me realize, everyone is so caught up in our day to day lives. Some of us follow such a schedule or are constantly going and doing, we never stop and take a minute to enjoy the beautiful and wonderful things in life. I needed a break, i needed to be able to enjoy this little secret of ours. I needed to be able to stop and take a minute to thank God for the little things in life we often take for granted. We wake up and go about our day as if there was no chance we could of woken up without a loved one, or without food/water, or whatever it is we think we are granted everyday. Maybe you don’t believe in God, maybe you do. But be thankful, just in general that you woke up today with all the things you went to bed with. I know that, that can be such a cheesy thing to think about, but it’s true. We aren’t guaranteed tomorrow, we aren’t guaranteed next week, so be thankful for everyday you wake up. Because as small as a thing that might seem, you never know when could be your last day or someone you love.

We wake up constantly thinking about our problems, all the things i have to get done, the bills, or at least i do. And i find myself very rarely stopping to just be thankful i woke up today, that i get to stay home with my son and bond with him and watch him grow. That i get to have constant food, and luxuries such as my phone and social media.

We as humans need time to ourselves, it’s so easy to get lost in this society and work, and routines.

So whatever you’re doing tomorrow, or even right now. Take that day to yourself, or maybe just a couple hours to yourself. Do some soul searching. Do what makes you truly happy. Spend time with your family and/or friends. While life is busy and our schedules are important, our mental health is as important as well. Our happiness is what makes our lives so much better. Our humbleness helps us to appreciate more. And our love is what keeps everyone together.

• Take some day(s) off
• Spend time with your family and friends
• Have some ALONE time
• Be appreciative for the things you have, even if it’s just to yourself
• Humble yourself
• Help someone
• Help the Earth
• And most importantly LOVE

Do whatever it is that makes you feel human again, that makes you love the life you live and all the amazing people in it. It’s so amazing to find that part of you again!
