Balance

There are days when you don't want to do anything but life calls and you must answer. Things you can't get out of even though all you really want to do is lie in bed, curled up, maybe watch a movie, or not.

But you don't. 

You take the next step. 

You mop the floor. 

You kiss your kids. 

You tell your husband sorry. 

You get a new plan for the kitchen. 

You make dinner. 

You smile. 

You breathe deep. 

You can do hard things.

And it feels a whole lot better at the end of the day than if you would have just stayed in bed. Although there are times for that, too. ;)

Today I chose to do the hard thing. To keep moving. To ask forgiveness. To repent.

I cried. A lot. I worked through feelings of frustration, hurt, and anger. I got a lot done and it felt good.

 Thinking on the last couple days. There is a time for leisure and a time to work. Being able to move when life calls you to and knowing when to rest when all the work is done. Balance. It's the best way to live.
