stress relief

My relief society president called me today, as she often does because of my calling, to ask how things were going with the latest task I had been given. After telling her, she poured out many a compliment upon me to which I bashfully thanked her. But I feel it really brightened my day and helped me feel encouraged about our current circumstances and the measures we have had to take in helping them.

To also relieve some stress Bro. Mo. finally had a full day of work and will have another tomorrow and possibly a third. I loved having him home, but I believe it added to my stress; the constant reminder that things were bad financially. Therefore, I put undue stress and pressure on myself to have things just right, so as to feel like progress was being made somehow in our lives. And that caused much friction.

But having him at work today, helped me to fell more energetic about my daily duties. And that brings me to this; a blog article that Sammie guided me to; illustrating how so many of us feel on a day to day basis.

But not today.

I felt like I was more able to handle sister squabbles/discipline, twins irritability, questions, computer playtime issues, homework, chores etc. without losing my cool, as I have so often done in the last few weeks. And I finally was able to play with my girls and just enjoy them.

Its nice to be reminded that we are not invisible.
