Me, myself, and I

Last night I had an epiphany! Well, not exactly, but that makes it sound more philisophical. After a long, non-stop three day weekend that was supposed to be somewhat relaxing - my body just gave out on me. I just kept pushing and pushing until I have no more. And then I realized...I am doing to much. I have been neglecting MYSELF in every way: diet, exercise, rest, and TLC. Now I am paying for it, but most importantly my unborn child is too.

So today I did what all Americans do who dislike their job...I called in for a "personal" day! And it is going to be for sure. As I stood in the middle of my home today I was disgusted by the site of it - I mean where do I begin in this abyss. There is just STUFF EVERYWHERE and consequently my mind and life are cluttered. I have to slow down and let Yahweh run His course for me. This is not my race!

Today I focus on me and all the things that bring peace and serenity to my circle of life. Although this madness is going to take a miracle, prayer, and at least a week I am sure!

Peace and blessings
