And I am loving it!
It is wonderful to wake up slow and enjoy my coffee and be unscheduled.
Just for two weeks.
I'll be okay with schedule again after this.
But the things that can get done when the kids don't need to be
in the school room and the big one off to school.
So far I've learned how to do one new thing and
did another hated project and got to spend an hour in our Christmas snow.
And drank coffee.
And......
I still want to read a whole book through before vacation ends and go through our wardrobes and deep clean.
Most of all I've been able to take time for things that I don't ususally.
It feels SO good.
About the New Year.
I wonder if there is a way to really breathe and take in all the moments.
Like slow life down enough.
Maybe maintain our bubble to keep it less hectic in our spirits.
I read in a little old fashioned devotional that tension and stress
in our modern world
are not caused from the outside but from the inside.
And that Joy and Calm are inside jobs.
I kind of like that.
When the whole earth seems to be racing and crazy,
I think
it's possible to let the soundness of God's spirit do the work of
keeping your bubble hectic and crazy but meaningful.
Because after all, my stage of life is crazy
and I love that my boys live hard and strong and
have the health and intellect.
May I never take it for granted.
May your new year be wonderful and full.
For all the friends we know that have hard decisions to make
and have to watch your babies go through things you never ever
wished on yourself even, may you have courage and calm and joy and wisdom.
For all of us who will face things we don't know about,
may we ALL learn more to Trust in God's sovereignty and
live with Love, Grace, and Gratitude.
Love.
