Girl Time

So lately I've been making it a point to have a girlnight each and every week. It's amazing how 2 1/2 little hours can really change your whole perspective on your week. You're not feeling guilty about not cleaning your house, or spending time with your kids. You don't have to be mommy, or wifey....it's a place to just be you.

I have so been enjoying the fellowship I have had with each of the women I have been able to spend time with. There is just something about being able to laugh until your belly hurts, and drink coffee or eat ice cream. There is something so fun about being the last person in the coffee shop and having to be kicked out.

Sometimes it's easy for me to get lost in all my roles as a woman. You can really lose your identity at points. But my girl night once a week helps me reclaim the Erin that I've always been and that, sometimes, is still dying to get out. I love it, and am so enjoying the high I get from just being able to be myself....even if it's only for just a few precious hours.
