Today I am having a rough day. Life is back to "normal" after a long weekend spent with my family taking a vacation and celebrating my husband's graduation (more about that later). We got back to Maryville yesterday evening and it was almost as if a weight settled on us within hours of walking in our front door.
There is no more "after graduation" or "after my family comes" to start making decisions about our future. Decisions that seem unclear at the moment. That time is now and the pressure seems to be mounting by the minute.
Today I walked around on the brink of tears. Missing my family, wanting some direction and just unsettled with life.
It's the little things I sometimes have to stop and be thankful for. Things like....
My husband packing a picnic lunch for me and enjoying it with me. Texts from my dad asking about my car (the air conditioning recently went out). My dear friend at work giving me a big hug because she missed me. My father in law asking me how we were doing adjusting back to reality. Watson not being able to get enough of us and being back home. Facebook messages from my mom in the middle of my day.
Sometimes you just have to take a moment to relish in the simple moments. The small things that allow you to keep your head up, even when it feels too heavy.
I am so thankful for the many people God has placed in my life that have blessed me beyond measure.
