On Thursdays I will be posting questions meant to make you think, and of course my answers to them. As a bonus I will also include a simple Yoga pose and / or a stress relief technique.
Today's question is - Are you living in the present?
Today's question is - Are you living in the present?
As most mommies of Angel Babies will tell you, this is a difficult thing to do. Personally for me it is a minute by minute thing. I can be here today, 19 months after my boys were born, but then something will take me back. It can be something so simple that I wouldn't even equate with Kyle. For example let's say I see a woman in a red coat. I might think to myself that I don't really care for the color red. My favorite color is blue. Blue is for boys. I was so happy to find out on a cold day in February 2009 that I was expecting twin boys. Oh twins. I miss not having Kyle with us and all that Jack is missing by not having his little brother here.
Some days are really bad and I live in what-if land. I'm sure most other Angel Baby mommies at least have a standing reservation here, maybe even a home away from home.
For an Angel Baby momma, living in the present is something that is very hard to do. For myself it is something that still takes a considerable amount fo time to do. But I do it. If not for myself, for Jack. I would miss so much if I wasn't there, in the present, with my personality filled 19-month-old.
Yoga -
Butterfly Pose - a basic beginner anyone can do. It is great for taking time to relax and concentrate on being here, in the present.
