Momma's "Mufasa Moment"

If you're a fan of the Lion King, you'll definitely remember the very dramatic and life-changing part where Mufasa comes to Simba in his prime and says to him " REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!" ( I just love that James Earl Jones voice :) )
It was at that point where Simba really got carried away living a FUN life, but not a FULL life.
So what's momma's own moment?
Being a new mom, and fairly new wife,I'm at the point where I'm engrossed by everything about my hubby and baby... and I'm loving every moment of it.
Well, I was going over my older posts on Facebook today, like years ago... and i thought wow! Did I really write that! and why did I stop? and what happened to my mind! :)
Its really easy to get carried away by our new roles as women, wives, mothers... and somewhere in the busyness of it all we forget who we are as individuals, as persons. We forget that thing that made us uniquely who we are. I remember saying jokingly to my hubby that I was getting old! and it all makes sense now. I can't stop being ME... just me, not wife or mother, but just ME. And that is the FULL, FUN life.
Here's the catch though, we have to actually take out that time for ourselves... and that may mean longer hours :) But if we can give our quality time to every member of our family, we can give quality time to ourselves as well.
Don't forget the things that put the spring in your step or the sparkle in your eyes! Take some time off today to do them :)
Keep dreaming!
