Time
Time is a funny thing right? When we are little we learn what the hands on the clock mean. We learn to count seconds and minutes. Before we learned what that meant time was of minimal importance to us. We played, we ate, we slept and then it all repeated. Then we learn what "time it is" and suddenly we are defined by those two little hands that revolve on a clock. It goes from something that concerns us as children like a "time out" to as adults "time off." Still once we learn what time is, it becomes a HUGE part of our daily lives.
A couple of weeks ago time stopped for what seemed like an eternity but in reality was just moments. Since them time has run my little Ethel like never before. My husband, my love, and I have been revolving around a 2-3 time block everyday. Although time flies in our home, the outside world seems to be trucking along. Our days are scheduled around feeding times, visitors, appointments and everything in between. Small simple tasks that used to seem like nothing are now a huge task...you know grocery shopping, making a meal...those types of things. In truth it doesn't seem to matter, because Gus just fits in our lives. I can't believe that Gus has only been with us for 2.5 weeks...Sometimes I think that it feels like it has been forever and then others it feels like it has just been a moment.
He is currently sleeping and this time of day has become my favorite. not because he is asleep but because it is the dawn of the new day ahead of us. Everyday has been different from the ones before it. No two days or nights have been similar...so it is always an adventure to see what we will experience.
On another note....I know I am supposed to be "recovering" from birthing a child and all, but MAN I MISS THE GYM!!! I miss sweating and feeling accomplished. I miss the feeling of sore muscles (knowing that I am improving myself) We were given the clear to start slow back into the workout scene...Sadly I am not good at slow.. I tend to think I can do more than I should. Andy has been good at holding me accountable and reminding me that I shouldn't over-do it.
I thought about doing the 30 day squat challenge...It is just squats right?? A good place to start?
Ok, baby stirring, time (ha) to get back to it.
