Slow down or else!

I’ve got to figure how to slow down and not take on so much. I know the saying god only idea you what you can handle and I’m trying not to doubt. BUT, honestly I am. I feel out of control and that I am just going through the motions everyday. Not good feelings! These are not the experiences I want to recall when I reminisce on my life someday. How can I change it? What am I doing wrong? I imagine I’m not the only one but I feel the level of responsibility I have is enormous and that if I stop, what will happen? Will I be able to support my family? Will my business succeed? Am I being a good mother? Friend? Boss? Christian?

I’ve got to pray….slow down and enjoy life or else I’ll look back with a huge pile of regret.

Yea, its been a while!

Yea, its been a while since I’ve looked down at my toes in the shower and saw painted toenails! I’m not sure if this trumps shaving my legs for the first time in over 4 weeks but it was darn close. Bizarre as that sounds, I actually felt whole.  Granted I’m not big into all the girlie things of life, but those toes shining back at me produced a smile from ear to ear! As Samuel is becoming more mobile and independent, I’m able to finally sneak in a few of the things I love to do.  Reading, of course hasn’t bounced back to even close to normal but my life has been added with other interests to take it’s place….like monitoring my son’s bowel movements.  While my life will never be the old normal, there is a new normalcy that I am blessed to have!
