too much on my plate these days. I feel like I have no time to breathe, dream, write, connect with another human being. I am running from one place to another barely acknowledging any other humans before moving on again. This is beyond frustrating and totally my own fault due to my inability to say no over the last several months which just adds to the frustration. Fall keeps teasing me being present one day and gone the next. Courtney continues to challenge the docs with her weight loss/gain and Jonathan pushes forward in his college journey. Jerry is working, working, working and I am just trying to keep the home fires burning. Of course I can't even see the home fires through the dust and disorganization but I have a desperate desire to set things right and enjoy some peace and tranquility. things here will be slow since I can barely string two sentences together these days.
maybe by spring...
I hear you....I'm so sorry things are burdening you...I KNOW the feeling. I'm sorry also for being a lurker, not a commentor. But I'm always a pray-er...
ReplyDeletePRAYING. Take one gasp at a time, breathe at a time, day at a time..and keep praying!!
Much love!
I too feel fall is a crazy time. For me it is all the activities that take a break over the summer and start up again (like scouts) and fall sports! I just like having quiet afternoons after school, but it always seems like someone has to be somewhere most nights. For me November will bring some easier evenings!
ReplyDeleteI hope things settle down for you as well!
Don't know what I did to deserve such grace this morning but thank you for your encouraging words and prayers. Blessings and Grace to you!!
ReplyDeletePrayers your way. .
ReplyDeleteMama Mary is awesome! She must not forget that :)
ReplyDeletemary- you are not alone...we are all running as fast as we can, trying to be all, do all... take some time for you. Breathe, have a cup of tea, take a walk and enjoy the colors of fall...you'll bounce back renewed- then take on just one small task at a time and celebrate the ability to cross that one off your list....I write this buried under an avalanche of laundry (husband is down to 2 pairs of underwear and there are no towels in the upstairs bathroom), I haven't vacuumed in a 'while' and there are dishes in my sink...BUT I enjoyed the boys' rugby game with Jim and my parents today, am sipping a glass of chardonnay (cheers!), and am feeling blessed to be on this journey in life with those I love. I consider you to be on that list. The laundry, and dishes, and paperwork will be there tomorrow. Love you. So much. Cza.
