I have had a rough week. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were absolutely horrible. There were sleepless nights. Lots of praying and some tears. Wednesday evening I went to bed with the resolve that Thursday would be better. To my amazement it has been much better.
I took the dogs for an early morning walk. It was just me and my girlies in the cool breezy morning. It was definitely a refreshing way to start the day. Family scripture study went better than usual. Everyone was awake, dressed and not fighting. That is my idea of success.
My day continued to improve as I got to work. I plugged in my ipod and listened to positive and uplifting music. I decided that a little retail therapy was in order during my lunch hour. I surprised myself by going to Best Buy. Three small items and $68 later, I was still feeling quite good. I closed out the hour by stopping at a little sandwich shop/bakery for a delicious tuna fish sandwich.
I saw a few emails flying by from some of my girlfriends. I miss them. It seems like our girls' trip was ages ago. Just thinking about them make me smile!
Dinner, homework and evening chores were relatively painless. I left Fred with the kids to attend a meeting at church. Just what I needed. A tiny break from work and family. And, it was a break that let me focus on other people. I decided that I wanted to keep that good feeling going, so I wrote one of my Sunday Letters early. Those make me feel really good. Now, I'm closing out my evening relaxed and stress free.
My trials are still here and in full force, but I'm thankful to have a break. Even if it is just for today. I want to remember this moment... just in case tomorrow doesn't go as well.
