This has been a low week. There is no real reason. The children have been sick since Monday but that is part of life as a mom. I have spent most days in bed and the house is falling apart around me. What am I doing?
I am not being positive. I am not living life. I am not being a good mom. I am not going to beat myself up and I am going to pick myself up. I am going to begin again tomorrow.
I will set my alarm., do my prayer and go to the gym. I am going to live my life. Life is hard. God never said He would make it easy for me. Suffering is a part of our journey to heaven. Part of my journey to meet Him one day.
What do you need to do to pick yourself up and begin again.
Please continue to pray for our family as we pray for your family. God Bless.
P.S. This as nothing to do with the Taylor Swift song with I have never even heard and just ran into when looking for a photo but should be accredited to my spiritual director who is always telling me to begin again.
one day at a time!! Some days will be better than others. Some days the most you can ask is that it be a "bearable" day. Some days you just want to hide in bed with the covers over your head all day long.
ReplyDeleteYes, just start again tomorrow - and the next day and the next. "Tomorrow is always new - with no mistakes in it" (Anne Shirley - Anne of Green Gables)

Oh yes Nancy beginning about is a daily if not hourly challenge! Oh Anne I hope I can make not mistakes in my day tomorrow. But it will surely only take me an hour to make one. An hour if I am lucky! :)
