A Better Focus


My baby girl is walking.

It just happened. One day it seemed she was taking those occasional wobbly steps, and then all of the sudden - she is WALKING! She prefers to walk.

With all of the anxiety I have had recently, I feel like I am missing things. I notice them. I acknowledge them - and then I dismiss them. I am not focusing on what's important. First it was pictures - I stopped taking them. Then writing letters to my husband - even though we talked on the phone there is something to be said about the feel of paper and the enduring written words from someone you love. Then I noticed that I stopped blogging as much - when there is so much that matters that I haven't blogged. Such as, my daughter is WALKING! She is also TALKING!

I won't have pictures or letters or blogs to remember it. I have been too stressed with work and doctors and appointments and everything that I can't do and focusing on all of the negative.

I need to stop. Those moments in life when you place yourself on pause, work everything out in your head, and it all comes back together with more clarity - I need one.

I'm working on it.
