The past week saw many of us reflecting on Easter, and being with loved ones. Also another reason for excessive food, friends, family, and fun. Now, let's take a look at the bigger picture.. Are you a person that only becomes friendly, cooks, or takes a moment for people during a holiday? Like many, I love technology, but coming from perhaps the last generation of kids that went from k-12 without cell phones, iPads, etc.. there's a very large part of me that is old fashioned, actually, let's rename that.. classic. Stationary, pleasant little notes via snail mail letting dear friends and family know that you're thinking of them are a lot better than an inbox message on Facebook.. or a text. A
Have moments of confidence, sans guilt. A lot of times in life, confidence...... (not arrogance)..... Confidence can be misread... which is quite horrible.

Life stands still for no one, and in our quest to keep moving and push through whatever emotion we may be dealing with, we can unfortunately lose touch with our true feelings, which is unhealthy. This will sound strange, but one of the things I actually enjoy about my cycle is getting in touch with feelings that I may have set aside (or not even realize that I had) during other days in the month. This doesn't mean that I literally cry over spilled milk, but I find that I am very aware of concerns, loved ones, and personal decisions during this time, and I allow myself to feel and deal with whatever the thought or concern may be accordingly.
