It was kind of a lousy day today. I feel like all I did was cry. The kids were off school and everyone was pushing everyone's buttons. We helped a bit in the garden, but I was feeling tired and overwhelmed all day. In the late afternoon I stood in the window and let the sun pour in and warm my body. There is nothing better than a sun filled window on a chilly day.
I baked bread for the millionth time, which I actually enjoy. It gave me time to think and be still. I really missed Mike today and may have cried over my toast.
When I looked at Joe tonight after dinner I couldn't help but wonder when he got so grown up!
Peering out the back door at this gorgeous sunset gave me strength to endure the bedtime routine. Sunsets bring me joy and cause me to pause and reflect. There were more tears after a rambunctious scripture study and prayer time and I didn't have the patience I needed to make it through the rough bedtime hustle. Tomorrow is a new day though, lets hope it goes a little smoother than today.
