I was reading at an herbal site earlier about the uses for the violet tincture I've made, and the main herbalist there was talking about how stress can land in unexpected places in our bodies. Then that got me to thinking about Joseph coming home next week (insert hallelujahs), and I realized how tense I've been for so long.
It's been tough 'round these parts. For a mom especially, least that's what I'm telling folks. Or rather, what's being told me. When you hear time after time how someone can't understand how I can bear our son being gone to boot camp/extra training, makes me wonder how far into the ground my head's been stuck. Yes, I'm tense. But relief is in view now. Hallelujah squared.
Anyway. Violet tincture is good for heart pangs of the emotional sort. Have taken it several times today.
And am reading a wonderful used book I came on quite by accident, if there is such a thing, at an Indie bookstore the other night. It's by Sue Monk Kidd and is called 'Firstlight'....highly recommend. I've underlined in almost the whole book so far. High praise, huh?
Gonna rest now. Got some more vanilla tea yesterday at the hippie store. Time to chill.
