What makes you happy?

Life often times gets crazy. Work, bills, school whatever it may be. Add kids to the mix and it just gets crazier. We tend to lose ourselves in it all. It can at times consume every bit of us. Where does that put our relationships? 

My friend asked us these three questions the other day: #1 What makes you happy personally? #2 What makes you happy in your relationship? #3 What more do you want right now that is hard to accomplish? I thought those were awesome. It definitely got us thinking. It gave us the time to reflect not only on ourselves, but also in our relationship. These were my answers: #1 Personally, being a mother to my boys makes me happy. For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a mom. If I did anything in life thats what I wanted to do. Also, the fact that although I may not think so, my journey does inspire people. #2 In our relationship, we are awesome together as parents. However, it is out bond and our connection to one another that makes me happy. He knows me better than anyone and has taken the time to figure every bit of me out. Still is. #3 It would make me happy to have more time with him. To have more one on one where its just us and we could connect like we did when we started. I miss having those moments where we would get lost in eachothers eyes. 

A lot of things came up that night. He said things I didn't know he felt and vice versa. It was a wonderful talk, and although we did get upset over some of the things that came up...at the end of it all we came back to those things that make us happy. We know what we want out of this and will fight for it. We've made progress lots of it! 

I leave you with this. Ask yourself those questions. Ask your partner those questions. Do ya'll know what you're aiming for? Are you on the same page? I feel that if you don't know what you want out of your relationship you have no business being in one. You're wasting precious time! Think about it.
