I visited A at lunch today and brought her Taco Bell. She was so excited when she saw me! She didn’t know I was coming to school today. It was so sweet to get to see my baby for lunch! She invited me to the library with her and then bought me a cute little pouch at the school store.
I am trying to focus my mind on softness and peace. Each day, I strive to pray and spend time studying scripture. That helps. I need to start avoiding the news. It stresses me out. I hate it. I wish politics were not so terrifying. I’d never follow them if they didn’t feel like watching a train wreck – I can’t look away- and then realizing that it is ultimately going to collide with my family and my life. The state of the world is scary.
I want to focus on pretty things and hobbies – when I have the energy to do things at all. Often I don’t. But I want to take the times I do have energy and spend that energy on things that make me joyful – happy, feminine things. Christians are commanded not to worry. I need to work on that because I definitely do worry. I’m going to try to focus more on the present. I can not change the future by ruining my present with worry. Instead I need to focus on gratitude. Counting my blessings always feels good.
