Happy Monday

Or is it? :)
Considering how our Sunday night ended Monday has been great. Kat and I went to Kindermusik this morning and went to get my eyebrows done and both of our bangs trimed. Very exciting....well not the haircut part. :)
Some days I have way to much on my mind and I thought as I got older it maybe would get better but I am quickly learning this is not the case. New worries about our daughter always come up. Something always seems to make an appearance when you are not expecting it. Sometimes I just have to wonder exactly what is this world coming too. I sure am hoping we raise a strong daughter who keeps this independent attitude she has now. So many times you have to worry "did I say something wrong" or "what will people think if I do this". Well I guess first of all I am starting to adapt my daughter's attitude on this. I am who I am. Not everyone will like you all the time, that is life. Be true to yourself. I am a good person and I know I have a big heart and always try to do the right thing. There was a time when I would let people walk all over me. Now being married to a strong man has for sure helped me realize that the people I want around me are the ones who like me for me, not the me they want me to be.
Not long ago Koran, Kat and I were eating out and Koran left the table. There was some good music playing and Kat starting dancing in her seat and I started along with her. We were not being loud just having a good time. A lady at a table a ways from us just kept looking at us. I just smiled at her. I thought you know we are not bothering you and we are having fun....get over it! Now a couple years ago never would I have done something like that in public to draw attention to myself. But I have learned from my daughter to follow your heart and what feels right. Be yourself all the time. Let them stare, maybe they are just jealous they don't feel comfortable joining in. Be yourself, because in the end that is who you are and it is exhausting trying to be someone else!
So today...go dance where everyone can see you. Maybe they will join in and maybe not...their loss!
I love this picture of Kathryn from the lake resort this past summer. We were out walking and she just started dancing. I have it on our fridge to remind me to just be me...especially on the days I forget.
