I feel like my blog posts have turned into "everything Christian all the time". I know that this is natural. He's my baby. Whenever I am not working, I am spending every minute I can (that he'll let me!) kissing his ridiculously cute face. But I realized something, I am still Lindsey! That sassy, opinionated, mistake-making, hard working friend that you all know and love.. Who just happens to also be a mom! Some days I feel like I am losing my identity, and I think that is one of the worst things that can happen. I feel lost lately. I have decided that one way I can work on this is by joining the "I am thankful" bandwagon going on right now. If I can concentrate on what I am thankful for, maybe I will take a minute to look beyond myself for once...maybe I can find the zest for life that I seem to be missing as I remember all the things in my life I am grateful for!
Today I am grateful for old friends. It is nice to see myself through the eyes of people who knew me when I was younger...before I was a wife and a mom. Before I was burnt out on working. Before I traded in my identity for the ease of blending in. People who look at me and see the girl who loves to laugh, and serve others, and who has a sharp tongue, but a love for others that overshadows it all. I am grateful for friends who love me and help remind me of who I was, and who I want to be again.

Yesterday was kind of a downer. I want to assure you that I am happy! I just miss certain parts of myself and I am ready to put forth the effort to regain these attributes!
