Feeling some relief from the burden of this past week. It's been hard, I admit, and openly say that. Family stuff is the most difficult of all, and when a parent can't *make it all better* as instantly as when the kids were little, well, it's plain frustrating.
Grateful for God's kindness in leading our girl away from something that wasn't His perfect will for her.
Glad to have her back.
And on other fronts, so enjoying this spring-like day. Got to puttering in the front garden today, but was more lethargic than I'd first intended. The perennials had leftover stems sticking up all over about 5-6" high when the boys cut them back in the fall. Not keen on how that looks, so was sitting here and there, using the hand clippers to tidy it up. Didn't accomplish much, but it does look better. Well, better after Gary took the clippers from me and finished up while I talked to two neighbors who wandered over. Good timing, eh?!!
Must be spring fever...the desire to garden but the where-with-all is all but spent. Will enjoy Spring Break this week, though. We're planning for a visit from oldest daughter's best friend who'll be here on Thursday. Nice to have something (someone) to look forward to. :) And I'm intending to rest as well.
