(My new Beth Quinn necklace!!....Love it)
Being a mother often means putting yourself on the back burner......with phrases like "oh when she starts school I will start working out"......"I don't know how to paint so I will keep the room beige"........or......."I can't do that". We owe it to our daughters (and sons) to start today. So, for me, this means "going to get" the healthy body I want........the clear mind I desire and the JOY that I know is waiting to be tapped. By opening up with people that I love it has helped me realize that I am not alone.....you aren't alone either. What are you "going to go get?"
I have a dear friend that has reminded me that it is up to me to "go get it!"

Oh, Dana, what a great post. You rock!
I went to get mine...but it was gone. Did you get it first? :)
Oh no....was that your bag of M&M's S???? Oh yeah...trying not to eat those any more....or at least as often as I was.....:0
Love you gals J and S!!
In my immediate future (as in tomorrow afternoon) I am going to get a margarita or two! ;-) Somehow I doubt this is what you meant but it's the best I can do on such short notice!
I am SO looking forward to seeing you, Val and Debbie for Happy Hour!!!!! We can talk more about what we are all 'going to get' then.
See you at 3:30ish at Miguel's.
Hugs,
Tamerie
I am with ya!
Right on Tamerie!!! LOL... Can't wait
:)
I understand exactly what you mean. My problem is I have no idea what I want to get. I feel like I've been in a "funk" for the last few years. Only recently have I seen a few signs that maybe the clouds are sliding away. It does help knowing other people are funkified too, thanks for sharing Dana. I'll keep searching and figuring out what I want "to get", alongside of you. : )
YOU GO GIRL!!!! You look Fantastic!!!! I Love You, your Mommy xoxo
Well said! I have no excuse not to go get it now that the kids are in school ful time. Thanks for the reminder :)
