lately I've been saying...... i just want peace, and then I'll say......... I'll get it when my brother finds a home, or I'll get it when the kids get back to school. Or when the neighbor guy stops picking and causing trouble. Or when the older "neighbor" gets used to her medications. My brother is not preventing me from experiencing peace, Nor my children, Nor my neighbor. How terrible it would be if it was those around us that had control of our peace and happiness. yeah I've said it before, WE, are ultimately in control of our own peace and happiness. And the only way i need to "find" peace, would be if it were lost!!! And if it comes from within each of us, how can it be lost??
Yesterday i felt guilty for having a very quiet day. didn't go anywhere, didn't really do much. watched some movies, and shows my husband enjoyed. Did some reading, and spent the later part of the evening watching lightning, and listening to the Thunder. I usually have some where to go 7 days a week. carpooling the kids, going to work, running errands and shopping with the hubby on weekends, just going in every direction. So why is it i feel guilty for having a quiet day........ where i go no where, and don't do a major house cleaning project?? I think we go too much.... and day's like yesterday are a "good" thing, and we need to learn to relax and enjoy.......and not feel guilty about "wasting" time.
my foot is doing really good again. not aching much at all. So i am looking forward to going to Curves this week. and maybe a couple walks no more than a mile or two. have lots scheduled this week.......... we all have dental appointments this week, i have a foot appointment. Andrew has a scheduled physical for football, oh yeah so does Sam........ different days, different times, different places......... Hopefully Christina will be able to start up at Curves again soon..... it's not the same without her.
Well it's a little after 7am, and it's almost time for me to run the boys into football practice. .
Make it a good one, and remember if you are looking for peace.... it's right there with you..... you just have to make "peace" happen.
