A gentle curve in a long boring straight road.
A break in the clouds.
A cushioned bench on a really long up hill walk.
Call it what you will, but today was a GOOD day. A relief.
Bug had an incredibly successful 1st FULL day at school (7 hours worth). Mom felt a touch guilty that I was sending her away like a rebellious teen getting sent to boarding school since I recognized her growing boredom of being at home in the mornings...maybe she was craving more Mom-time... But then I realized as the day progressed, how little attention the Little Man had been missing out on. We had conversations about pots and pans, and laundry, and we named everything we touched all day long. I was able to get so much done during the day (housework and Journey Naturally work) that after I got Bug home from school I was free to spend more time with her than before!
I'm taking this as reassurance that sometimes a path beginning with nerves doesn't always mean your gut is telling you it's the wrong path. I need to learn to trust better. If anyone includes me in their prayers, I request you send some up for my ability to learn to trust and have better faith.
Practice makes permanent, especially during the harder times!
