Be kind

Just a few words for you on a Saturday. Have a wonderful weekend! 

Perfectly imperfect

Call it dental student/motherhood/wife angsty stress, but occasionally (read, frequently) I feel at my whit's end and start to question myself. I know, so weird. But like many of you folks (especially new parents) out there on the interwebs, I sometimes feel inadequate in my various duties and responsibilities as future dentist, wife, and mother. I do not feel like I have my sh*t together and I definitely feel like I am failing on many fronts (and backs and sides for that matter). But when I finally pull my head out of my pint of pity party, I realize the truth of it all.

I am not the highest producer at school, I am not winning any mother-of-the-year awards, and Mrs. Snaps-at-her-husband rears her ugly head at times. But I am my whole perfectly imperfect self, cracks and all. And hey, that's good enough.

Be Still

As this year comes to a close, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of urgency. There are things to get done, traveling to do, and lists to check off. The hum of the season, while full of joy and energy, is often elevated to one of chaos. Today, I am trying to remind myself to slow down and remember to meditate on a sense of peace that the season brings. While 2014 is nearly over, I know 2015 will bring its own share of blessings. I will remind myself to be still, calm my spirit, and take the time to center myself. 

How do you deal with the hustle and bustle of the season? Do you thrive on the energy or are you drained by it?
