Life

I know today is an important holiday in which to remember all that we have and the sacrifice of those who made it possible and are no longer with us. However, I haven't really thought much about it today.

Today, I'm trying to let go. Let go of stress, worry, doubt, fear, and any other toxicities within myself.

I've been out of school for a month now and have gotten used to it. I'm not even thinking about whether or not I will return in the fall, because it so dependent on too many factors. Right now, though, I'm not really feeling it.

My girls on the other hand will be taking a break from homeschooling next year and attending a public school. This was a hard one for me, but I know that the decision that's been made is the right one. We just started using our new stuff and I think it's been great. I wish I'd just started using it when I got it, though.

I have so much on my mind lately that I've been feeling a lot of different emotions. Some might say it's hormones and pregnancy. I don't agree. It's more than that. I just don't know how to talk about it.

A friend of mine informed me of a challenge from our favorite radio station that I'm going to try. Starting tomorrow we are supposed to go to God in prayer instead of mumbling and grumbling. Since I've been doing a lot of mumbling and grumbling lately and not much in the way of prayer and have started noticing it as a problem, I feel that it was a confirmation that it's time for me to just stop. And a sign of the strength that I can just stop. I've been getting a lot of little confirmations lately about different things.

I've made some jewelry that I'm going to start listing on etsy tomorrow and I'm excited about it. I also have been working on some art for a friend to use in her shop. Hopefully both will turn out to be successes for me.

I now have a serger and used it to make some cloth wipes for our impending arrival. I plan to use it on the sewing projects I've been helping my girls with as well. They're almost done. Just need to get through the final couple of steps. But with how I've been feeling lately I haven't gotten around to it.

Thankfully, though, I found a church in the area that both my kids and I like and we plan to continue attending. I think it will be very good for us.
