That which makes U weak, will only make U stronger

Times are hard! This economy sucks! I realize that every time I blog, it is generally the negative stuff. Honestly, this is very therapeutic for me because I am the type of person to "eat" everything - you know a people pleaser. Its almost like I had an epiphany the other day. I have been slowly feeling my body dwindeling away, literally. Last night I got one of my infamous migranes that begins with 30 minutes of blindness and then comes the massive headache and nausea. This is my body saying "slow down"because I only get them when i am overstressed. "But I have to keep moving" is what I tell myself. But not yesterday. I started studying and then did NOTHING the entire evening. Astonishingly, it was easy as pie for me. But my body said thank you the next morning as I woke up in prayer and a cheery disposition. I miss that side of me, but i am working to bring it back by doing less. It has always been my character to carry the world on my shoulders and it has made me a stronger person, but I have been depriving my baby of the serenity it needs. Time is ticking and I am just so excited to be going on vacation soon. My world needs it! I am like a child in the car on a road trip saying, "are we there yet" LOL
