Mama Needs a Refill

Recent trip to Disneyland with my family.

Just home from a trip to Disneyland with my family where I didn’t get much me time. I didn’t get to yoga, I barely wrote, not a lot of time carved out for me. And you know what? I still came home with a full cup.

The moments gathered together in one hotel room or around a table for a meal or squished together on a ride filled me up and that isn’t always the case for me. Often I’m too wound up, tired, stressed to enjoy my family. But I was so focused on having fun as well as creating fun for my kids that I found my needs being met by letting go of being in control and just having fun. We got to connect as a family in ways we don’t always get to with time, schedule, commitments and other priorities.

I wanted this family, this is what I asked for and then with life stresses you forget that and you forget to have fun with each other. And really that is the priority, that is where the importance lies.  Oh, to live like we are at Disneyland, spinning around and around with those we love, with those who matter most, without a care in the world.
