My "Day of Discovery"

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Last Friday I went to this thing in town called "Daypass to Discovery" - basically it was a full day of vendors, food, psychics, treatments, etc... and it was amazingly wonderful!!!!!!!

I had a massage by the waterfalls

I had reflexology

I had reiki

I had a mini shiatzu treatment.

I had my tea leaves read

I had a tarot card reading

Yeah, I was fast asleep on the couch by 9:30 PM that night!!!!!!!! HA HA HA

I had to laugh because the tarot cards, the tea leaves, the reflexology lady, and these other psychic women (I don't know how to explain them but I had to stand inside some rings while they "read" my auras) ALL said to me "You need to take a time out!!!!!!"

Apparently I think about my business and my family 100% and leave no time for me. (other than Friday I guess - which is funny because what initially was supposed to be a day for me turned into a business venture bringing my Epicure products.... yeah, I can't turn it off)

Finally I asked one of them - "OK - I've heard this same thing sooooo many times today - I just need someone to tell me HOW to accomplish this" and got "You have to do it for yourself".....

Yeah.... ok.... I'll get right on that ;)

Thinking about it all, they are so right. Somewhere along the path I've lost me. I am DH's wife, I am Coco and Little Miss M's mommy, I am a whack of people's Epicure rep, but what else am I really? There is really nothing else out there that defines ME. I USED to have my own activities, hobbies, things I'd like to do - now I don't. I guess that happens when you have a family and responsibilities right? You get the grand prize of losing yourself in the mix.

I need to take some time and figure out how and what to do for myself - JUST for myself, for my own enjoyment and to allow me to be KELLY again - somewhere, mixed in with everything else...

Maybe later though, for now I have 2 children to feed while the DH is out golfing and playing baseball - and I have a whack of business calls to make because my calendar is looking a wee bit bare.

Yeah, Kelly comes last again - but hey, such is life... I'll get over it ;)
