Lost: Me

I will start by stating that I love being a stay at home mom.  But sometimes I feel like I've lost myself in my "mom identity."  I forget that I am many other things, too.  This is a bucket list of sorts, for things I want to be good at again or things I want to learn someday.  A few of them are things that I just enjoy doing and look forward to the day when I can do them again.

• writing in my journal (used to do it daily...currently trying for weekly)
• drawing
• painting
• traveling (places to see: Japan, Australia, and Italy)
• playing the guitar
• yoga
• dancing
• hiking
• photography
• horesback riding
• singing
• reading
• fostering rescue dogs (never done it, but totally want to)
• teaching
• learning (I would love to get my Masters in education, or get another BS in something else...just for fun!)
• sewing
• volleyball
• skiing

It helps to take a few minutes to find myself again! Maybe it's selfish, but I find that taking a few minutes to acknowledge that I have other interest and hobbies helps me to be a better mom and wife.
