Where Have You Been?

It has been a month since I posted. Why is that, you ask? Well, life has moved out of Summer Mode and into full-swing. Homeschool has geared up again, and this is taking a great amount of patience and self-improvement. My new job has entered into a new phase, with my self confidence growing and a great amount of discomfort. Our home still has things that need completion and we are working on making decisions about that. Plus, life in general - relationships, marriage, parenting, friendships, and health. So that is where I have been.

When I was contemplating what I wanted to write about this morning, I was baffled. My greatest growths this month cannot really be stated in words and most of the lessons were more for me than anyone else.

I am seeking growth in the realm of how to feel calm and peaceful even when my mind, body, and soul are struggling. How can I remain at peace when my body is screaming out in pain? Or my heart is aching?  Or my mind will not calm down?

Many times, breathing is what I do to bring the peace. Sometimes I go for a walk. Other times I sit and read a good book. Often times I watch a show that causes me to shut down to everything. Honestly, even that can be helpful at times.

Blessings!
