I'm in my mid 30's and I've done a lot of rethinking as of late....I realized sometimes it's ok to not have everything perfect...ie maybe i let the dishes sit in the sink until after the kids go to bed b/c reading books or playing jump rope or cards is more important. one day my kids will be gone and i will be left with the dirty dishes...but these moments are precious! i also realize it's ok to be silly and goofy! i think sometimes we get so caught up being 'proper' we forget to be a kid...it keeps us young! some days you've just got to take ur shoes off and splash in the rain. (well not today it's freezing out! ha ha)Laura@The Oily Cupboardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649567413697929693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-26656791086368137592010-01-26T04:20:03.974-06:002010-01-26T04:20:03.974-06:00I often forget about rethinking and the way this w...I often forget about rethinking and the way this was written nailed it perfectly.

And sometimes I do feel that focusing on myself (as I tend to do) is a bit self-indulgent and trivial. However we ARE in a world that unfortunately judges by our outward appearance...if only it were simpler and we could be as free as men to simply shower, dress and walk out the door in the morning!

I always wear a foundation with sun block, but I didn't always wear any other makeup.<br /><br />I do feel better about myself when I make an effort on my appearance... but deep down I am a bit of a hippy or "granola" as a couple of my friends call it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07271472544623395546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-66446160432439201842010-01-24T09:01:12.082-06:002010-01-24T09:01:12.082-06:00You know I think about this stuff a lot, too...bei...You know I think about this stuff a lot, too...being a mom in my 30s, etc...it's tough!!

Now that I'm in my 40's, I'm finding that I really don't think about anything anymore! lol Comfortable with myself, my relationships and my choices. I do worry some about aging but other than that, 40's are a happy place to be.Tammy @BeatriceBankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340198138320633828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-19365818431011044262010-01-23T14:17:31.798-06:002010-01-23T14:17:31.798-06:00Thank you for your sweet visit to my blog Holly!
