With the youngest kids at my mom's today, was able to think about stuff. Mainly my tendency to do more than I should. I even got to thinking about my desire to go to prayer services on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, but my inability to get it in gear early enough. Then I realized that it was turning into a chore-like sort of thing. Not sure my motivation---I think it's been innocent enough, but to exhaust myself in the process seems pretty self-defeating. I do that. Too much, and then....even then, feel I've not done enough. So I walk around feeling inadequate.
And fourth son mentioned to me this morning that I don't give myself much credit, as far as appearances go. We were talking about some folks we met at a BBQ on Saturday night. He was telling me that I looked younger than one of the women who was actually younger than me. Really? Not sure how to take that sort of information, but I like it.
So tonight will take deep breaths, read more of the Joanne Harris book (which I'm enjoying so much) and think about starting a new journal. I bought some scrapbooking papers today, so maybe putter along with that. And tomorrow's an easy day. No getting out (I don't think) and home-time for all. Amen to that.
Now onto that chicken curry I made for dinner.
