(me overwhelmed)
have you ever had so much to do that it is totally paralyzing?
with three children life can get pretty busy
ballet
gymnastics
playdates
school work
chores
recitals
laundry
laundry
laundry
dishes
i am so overwhelmed it stops me in my tracks.
i don't know where to begin!
so...
i keep coming back to this
it reminds me to not hurry to finish,
finish a race of nothing.
to take in each moment and enjoy the laundry, dishes, errands
because it is all so very temporary.
...
and a little of this doesn't hurt
it's my little cup of peace each morning.
there, i feel better already.
thank you for being my therapists ;)
now go enter this week's sponsor giveaway!!!
happy monday!
xoxo,
I feel very overwhelmed right now too and your post really puts things into perspective. It really is "all so very temporary" and that is a good thing to always remind ourselves of. I might have to look into that book too! Hope you have a good start to the week and things get better!
ReplyDeleteyes, I get that feeling of paralyzing anxiety when I feel like too much is going on in my life. And I'm also reading that book. My favorite part of the day is when I can sit in the sun, with my cup of coffee, and read in silence. Her words really resonate with me, it is a calming book-- one that every mother should read!
ReplyDeletefinish the race of nothing...i really lik that...i need to buy that book huh? I hope your week is full of peace and sweet moments!!

Couldn't have said it better myself. Guess I need to find that book.

ReplyDeleteI think I have moments like that almost every day. Thanks for the perspective.
ReplyDeleteI just realized you have a blog. I love it!! You were always so creative and it's awesome to see you living your dreams!!! You are an inspiration my friend : )
ReplyDeleteYep, I get that feeling, too, sometimes and I'm not even a mom. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of lists and that helps a bit.
