Figuring it out.

Feeling better.
Perspective is back.
Giving myself a much needed pat on the back.
Counting my blessings.
Laid on the grass with my family last night.
Listened to advice from hubby.
Remembering and having faith that putting first things first makes plenty of room for all else.
Reading this:
I said my prayers this morning and decided to open up my new book and continue reading where I left off. The section I was in- Look for Light in the Trenches. The chapters I read-
Moments--------The Balancing Act----------Enough is Enough-----Prayer Works-----------
Everything I needed to remember (I don't think it was coincidence)
In the chapter- Prayer Works. Tears came easily and I recognized one of my biggest problems when I read this:

"Suppose the Savior comes to visit you. You've rushed around and vacuumed the guest room, put the best sheets on the bed, even got some tulips in a vase on the dresser. Jesus looks around the room, then says, "Oh, thank you for inviting me into your home. Please tell me about your life. "You say, 'I will in just a minute, but something's boiling over on the stove, and I need to let the cat out.'
"Jesus say, 'I know a lot about cats and stoves. I'll come with you.'
"Oh, no,' you say." 'I couldn't let you do that.' And you rush out, carefully closing the door behind you.
"And while you're turning down the stove, the phone rings, and then Jason comes in with a scrape on his elbow, and the visiting teacher supervisor calls for your report, and then its suppertime, and someone forgot to turn on the dishwasher so that you're eating off paper plates, and then you have to drive Lynne to her basketball game. So by the time you get back to the room where Jesus is still patiently waiting for you, you're so tired that you can barely keep your eyes open- let alone sit worshipfully at Jesus' feet to wait for those words of profound wisdom and spiritual power to wash over, to make you different, to make everything else different- and you fall asleep whispering, 'I'm sorry. I'll try to do better. I'm so sorry''' (Chieko N Okazaki Lighten Up)
