a new month, a fresh start.
Every single day I learn something about myself, it’s not always deliberate, it’s not always obvious, but it is a daily occurrence. Many days I am shown my how strong I am. Most days I am shown how weak I am. We put up walls and break down walls in catastrophic proportions at times. But we are always learning. In the walls, in the break downs, in the strengths and in the weaknesses.
The last few weeks have taught me how empathetic I am and where I got it from. I feel deeply and pull in the feelings of others. I think what makes me a great daughter and a great wife is that my dad and husband are both empaths as well. They maybe don’t show it as openly as I do, mainly because of the whole male vs female world. I am allowed to show my emotions on my sleeve, but my mood really drives the whole of our home. If I am in a good mood and feeding off the good moods of others around me, the world is titled on the correct way of its axis. If I’m on the downward spiral, we all are.
I do think I would rather feel as much as I do versus feel nothing at all.
I learned today, I am surrounded by good men that make me the woman I am. The mother I am. The daughter I am and the wife that I am. I would love to take a lot of the credit, but without them, I am not sure where life would have taken me, or them for that matter.
Bottom line, I am grateful I get to be empathetic, show my emotions and have them validated.
July went by so fast. I need a slow down month August.
XOXO,
