The 10 Year Challenge

Feeling inspired by the Facebook 10 Year Challenge, I pulled up pictures of myself from 10 years ago.

When I look at that girl I see someone who…

is well rested

doesn’t have a care in the world

lives in the moment

hasn’t experienced the loss of a child

I see someone who is happy.

When I look at myself in the mirror today, I see someone who…

is tired

worries if she’ll ever get it all done

lives on a schedule

misses her son everyday

struggles to see herself

But again, I see someone who is happy – tired, but happy.

All of the heartache, stress and worry aside..

I wouldn’t go back to that 20 year old, carefree girl…

She doesn’t know the love of a spouse, the beauty of carrying a child, the joy of holding her baby for the first time or hearing her toddler say, “I wuv woo” every day. 

One day I’ll feel well rested again, but for now I am good with being a tired, happy momma!
