Slow Start to the Week

“It is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us--even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will. We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for He sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming."
Joseph B Wirthlin, "The Great Commandment," Ensign, Nov. 2007

I had a rough start this week. Hannah's sickies became mine, and for 2 1/2 days I was a mess of sleep, hacking, and trying to get stuff done, when I wasn't sleeping or hacking! I was feeling pretty down yesterday (I think my mood definitely doesn't do well when I'm physically down for more than 2 days!) and was a gruff bear and I'm not proud to say that I ate a ton of "comfort food" while taking Mucinex-D, and I think I finally got a GOOD night's sleep. At least Curtis said I wasn't snoring and waking him up, and I actually woke up this morning and didn't feel like crashing in bed again for the first time in 3 or 4 days.

So here is my quote of the week and I hope it finds you well and that you know a small bit of what is in my heart and mind this week --

Good Luck To You!

Any idiot can face a crisis – it’s day to day living that wears you out.
Anton Chekov

Love this quote! Feeling a little worn out, not sure cuz I really don't have a good reason...

I've had physicals, on and off exercise, had my thyroid checked, etc -- every year since turning 36, and now I'm facing turning 39 and still wonder how I'll ever feel like I'm doing/being/becoming the person I want to, know I can, be...

Wish I could hear from some of you who might be reading these -- drop me a comment, or if you want to be a follower, I would enjoy hearing from you!

Good Luck to You!
