Well, it's almost Valentine's Day and my birthday...and God gave me a gift. Our school was called off for today and tomorrow due to 20% of our student population being sick with the flu, strep, and mono. Not that I"m glad that anyone is sick, that's not a gift, but the days of rest...that's the gift. I NEED rest. I've been so very exhausted lately. I can't seem to keep up with a normal pace in a normal life. But then, I guess I'm not normal. I am still in the midst of a very emotional time in my personal life. I'm sure that this lends itself to exhaustion, when you can't make life easy or normal or even calm. Why do we have to feel such deep emotions for the people we love? I wish sometimes the God would give me a break...a reprieve. Just for a bit. A long enough time to recoup and get ready for another battle. My mental exhaustion leads to my physical exhaustion. So is true of chronic illnesses, not just for me. I just wish I could climb inside of a bubble for a bit. A bubble filled with a warm, calm paradise that would rejuvenate me. Fiji, here I come. Not very realistic...but I am thinking about buying a heat lamp, a 50 lb bag of sand, and a case of Corona to make my own paradise in my backyard!
Until then...these are my little pieces of paradise. Here they are holding our little kittens;) Find your happy where you can, right? Thank you God for these little "happies". They make my life worth while.
