- Staying up late and sleeping in and occasionally enjoying an afternoon nap are ok!
- Being available to do things for others – babysit, cook, serve as school transportation, do errands, work on local history projects, work on volunteer efforts for the causes dear to me fulfills me.
- Outings with my parents are making memories.
- There is more laundry (why I have yet to figure out).
- We eat in more and out less. When we do eat out it is because we really want to try something new or different, not for convenience.
- I can choose to avoid conversations and events that send my blood pressure up!
- Lucy and Buster are co-dependent.
- Bike riding and walking at the Res or on the Trace are fun when not crammed into a “have to” schedule.
- Traveling is still my primary stress reliever with writing becoming a strong player in that space.
- God still has plans for me.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:11-13
