A little bit down today.

[Guest guest]

I have been reading about how many of us do feel frustrated with our

physical limitations. It's down to just me at home now,and I can so

relate to that...I have this beautiful swag of pouffy tulle and roses

over my bedroom window. I have been attempting to get it down and

dusted for months. However, standing on the bed and reaching over my

head is not a reality for me anymore. And my daughters would be more

than happy to help. But the closest one is 30 miles away and has three

kids and a life! At church, I have been invited to join new comittees,

attend a new Bible study with in the next town,take on mentoring a

young single mom, etc. At the same time while I would love to do it, I

have learned the hard way not to overcommit and not allow enough time

for rest. I already have a few young women that I am second mom and

advisor to, along with my own bunch. It makes me sad that I can't do

everything I want to, but I realize that I have to take care of

myself, and if that means some things have to wait for a better day,

then that will have to be OK. But for someone who raised 4 kids on my

own, it's really hard to do that sometimes.
