As mentioned in the previous post, the Valentine's Day gifts did not arrive as planned, but sometimes it's fun to get packages for no reason at all, right? :) Parker and I had a wonderfully relaxing Valentine's Day and President's Day. We didn't do anything spectacular, but we relaxed at home together, made breakfast and dinner together, got caught up on house-hold chores together, watched the olympics together, you know, fun stuff like that. It was wonderfully relaxing.
It was great to have a break but now that I'm back into the work week I feel swamped! I don't know how people do it all, because I feel like I'm just doing the basics of work and school and I can't keep up. I've been trying to be better at time-management and using my time wisely and all that (Right now I was supposed to be writing a paper about whether or not there are adverse health effects to living near high voltage overhead power lines... if that's not fun, I don't know what is!) but it's hard when I feel worn out and want a little break (I have been on campus since 7:30 this morning and won't be home until 8:00 at the earliest... sometimes I feel justified in taking a break). Anyway, the point of this was not to complain about how busy my life is, but just explain how I'm trying to take one day at a time and take deep breaths and stop fretting. :) I really am blessed to have everything I do, and that's a great reminder for me to recognize that these stressors (getting an education and earning an income, among other things) are really a blessing. Isn't life wonderful!?
I loved this entry! It was good to know what you're feeling and thinking. And you're absolutely correct that having something valuable to do every day is a wonderful blessing. And I think you're handling your "blessings" in a great way!
