If I am Honest with myself

I've been pondering on this for a few days now.

I have to be honest..

I have never been a gymnast..

I hated when we had to do gymnastics in PE in middle school.

I have never jumped/leaped in the air while doing a floor routine hoping that I landed exactly where I needed to without falling and seriously hurting myself.

I have never leapt over a vault spinning through the air hoping I landed on my feet and didn't break a leg (or worse).

I have never been able to balance myself on a balance beam, while spinning and jumping and landing in just the right spot.

Or fly through the air while letting go of bars hoping I caught the next set I needed to while spinning and throwing my body around in circles.

What I do know is that no matter what I have done in my life, I have needed my head space to be just what it was needed and if I didn't feel like it was something I could do - well, I would back out. Sorry if that disappointed some but MY mental health is extremely important. This is something that I have learned over time. It was not always an easy lesson, but one that took multiple times of doing it the wrong way.

It's not about being scared to try something.

It's not about thinking others are going to judge me different.

It's not about not being able to do whatever it is perfectly - cause let's face it - i am far from perfect and make mistakes all the time.

It's about making sure that I am taking care of myself so that I can take care of my husband, kids, grandkids and all those I come in contact with.

We need to do better with mental health these days.

We need to stop bullying people for how they are feeling.

We need to stop bullying them when they make a decision that WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT.

We need to stop thinking we are God and judging those for doing something they feel is right... it is NOT about us -

But we can be KIND and maybe, just maybe, that can go a long way in helping others and how they are feeling, even just for a little while.
