Healthy Hale's Day # 3- reflecting

So today's focus is on reflecting...something I have much more time to do now. As I'm going through junk in our house I came across BJH's baby book. So she is now 14 months old...and the last time I wrote in her book was probably 6 months ago. So I was able to fill in and update different pages in. As I was reading through it, I ran across my letter to her. Here it is...

My Dear, Sweet, Brylee Jayne,

What a joy you are to our lives. We're so happy to finally meet you and see your beautiful face. You are more beautiful that I could ever have imagined! You're features are so tiny and petite. You were born 3 weeks early so you were very little. I'll never forget the first time I met you! I cried because I was so happy! You already have a mind of your own (like your Mommie)! You don't like to be disturbed but you're very cuddly! One of my favorite things to do with you is cuddle and watch you sleep! How your features and face change every day! What a precious gift you are to us. We're so thankful for every minute the Lord has given you to us.I love you BJH! Love, Your Mommie

So...as I wipe my tears, I reflect on this beautiful baby girl that HE has given us! There are so many thoughts that come to my mind. complete and total love, excitement, care, wonder, innocents, spunkyness and so much more. In my time of reflection I worked through so many different things.

In order to be healthy you must have time in your life to reflect. You can reflect on many, many things; Your life, choices, job, love, children, spouse, relationships, time spent, etc.  As you reflect you will be overwhelmed with many different emotions. It is in and through these emotions that you will be able to process and get healthy.
