Today went much more smoothly. I'm so grateful I realized before it was too late that I needed to slow down. I think it's good to be busy, but within reason. I was just putting more and more on my plate, and it started to overflow. Ellie was MUCH better today too. And I honestly think it had to do with how much Mommy-time she was getting. I am starting to understand that she can't verbalize everything she's feeling in reference to Tom being gone, so I need to make up for that. She is such an easy going kid, I just didn't think his deployment would effect her the way it has. Like I said in the beginning though, I'm grateful I noticed it sooner rather than later. God placed his hands on my shoulders and led me to see that there was just too much. He heard my prayers and is answering them in His own ways.
"You owe it to everyone you love (including yourself) to find pockets of tranquility in your busy world.”
Good night.
