As a busy college student juggling a full class schedule, ARD responsibilities, a job, friendships, etc, Beth was wanting me to talk some time to stay "me". She encouraged me to do something that I just simply enjoyed... something that was outside of my responsibilities of the roles I was in at the time.
My response to her then was playing team sports. But in this season of life as a mom and a wife, it's being able to be crafty and creative. Now by no means am I a Pinterest queen, however, I do enjoy taking time to create something out of fabric, an old sweater or old window. I love decorating a room, doing a simple painting, sewing wool mittens, designing a space, editing a new picture or making a quilt!
All of these things helps me relax. They help me reflect on life. They keep me "me".
