Ever been there?
I spent last weekend (labor day) at my parents house. Okay, not just the weekend...five days. :) I was looking forward to going as I was anxious for the chance to relax and re-evalute. I am definitely an extrovert at heart, but I need my alone time to think. I felt like my brain had been on fire for a couple months with no break...and I was exhausted. I'm sure most of you can relate. Sometimes just getting away or having a change in the pace of "normal" life can greatly ease.
My husband took a walk today and were discussing the on-load of thoughts we've been dealing with over the last couple months. I shared with him something I realized over the weekend: that being at that point makes us so vulnerable, its so easy to believe that that is "normal" and continue feeding into the busyness around us and completely lose sight of everything but what is right in front of us. Having our minds so wrapped up makes us susceptible to the ever-flowing temptations that try to rule our life. Its easy to forget things that are truly important, or things that we cared about, and before you know it you're making decisions you never thought you'd make.
Ever been there?
I am thankful to have had time to regenerate. I can focus on what's really important to me and being the person who I am, and the wife and mother-to-be that I want to be.
