Five Minute Friday: Exhale

Encouragement

I’m taking a break from Family Fridays for a while, or maybe I will just mix and match Family Fridays with something new.  I am taking a leap and joining Lisa-Jo Baker, and many other talented people with Five Minute Friday.  For those who don’t know Lisa-Jo, I encourage you to go check her out.  She is an amazing encourager. All you young mommys out there especially – go now and read her words of love and peace.  

Anywho, Lisa-Jo gives a one word prompt every Friday, and the goal is to write on that one word for five minutes. 

Here goes.  

Often times when my hubby and I are alone together, whether it be date night, or just on a walk, I do a lot of sighing.  Hubby used to ask what was wrong.  I mean, all of the time ask.  It was sweet he noticed.  I would always tell him, “no nothing’s wrong, I just forgot to breathe.”  He would give me the weirdest looks.  But really people, I sometimes get so caught up in the busy of the day, the schedules, the to-do list, that I forget to exhale. 

Think about it, and then do it.  Exhale.  Right there where you are, right now.  Do you remember the last time you let out a good breath and took in the moment, the things surrounding you, ya I know.

Life is passing quickly folks.  Don’t forget to breathe in the moments.  Exhale.

    Breathe in the moments. Yes. Me too. Have to remember to breathe and wait on life. I have to tell myself to enjoy life sometimes. I'm perpetually trying to plan it out.

    Thanks for sharing today!

Hubby and I took a little trip to Colorado Springs Hubby and I took a little trip to Colorado Springs and had the best time! ❤️ We took off as the sun was rising in OKC and landed in the mountains! 🥰 It was so good to get away together! We hit all the high points (pun intended haha) - Royal Gorge, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, and Seven Bridges. We hiked everyday! Can’t wait for our next adventure!! 🥰
