A new season is upon us, the kids have officially been back to school for a little over a month. The leaves are falling and a cool chill is in the air. It seems this time of year there are many endings and with endings come a sense of loss or remorse.
I am sitting up late this evening with my daughter who is feeling ill lying on the couch. Mom is not able to sleep so when my mind cannot shut off I love the release of writing out my thoughts. Hence a little blurb about setting goals…. All I can hear in my mind which is running a million miles per hour at this late hour is “baby steps”. My brother would always tell me “Nancy ….. just take baby steps, and everything will be OK!”
So with my mind swirling about all of the uncertainties in my life at the moment and my sick daughter fighting strep throat feeling sick to her stomache on the couch is just to maybe try to take a few steps to bed and lay my head down and wake up tomorrow (god willing), and take a few more baby steps towards my goals of being a good person and a good mother to my two children.
I will set a goal of trying not to eat half a bag of licorice tomorrow night while worrying about things that are out of my control, (and some things that are in my control). For now I think I will say goodnight and perhaps say Thank You to my sleep angels watching over me and my children tonight!
Talk soon ~
Nancy
