A cold and cloudy Wednesday

Just taking the day as it comes....and enjoying this tiny bit of quiet before the house wakes up. While I silently (and sometimes no-so-silently!) curse the big dogs for waking up early, it is good for me to have some time without chatter so I can hear myself think. Just a bit of time to get my head in gear. The last few days have been so stressful with our daughter, being that she melts at the least provocation, and that's totally understandable. I've been totally wrapped up in her pain and recovery (love hurts so), but it's all for the good. I told her that this excites me for what the Lord really has planned for her life. So thankful that things are panning out the way they are and that she's *listening*....not to me, but to the Lord. But you know, even the hardships are part of the plan. Must remember that. It all fits together somehow.

Puts life into perspective, when tough things happen. Trivialities turn into just that...trivial and nonsensical things. Easier to see what I waste my time and energy on when there are real struggles sitting smack in front of my face (shaking myself off like a wet dog).

Off to finish my tea and sit in the dark. Life is good.
