(57) Monday

Oh Monday.

I managed to get a lot done today, but

it was tough going in ways; 

I was tired. 

I think one of the tricks for me to get stuff done is at times

in the day, just rest for a bit.

I am doing a lot of preparing for my friends visit with us

and as I mentioned before, I will not be blogging normally soon

while this visit is on-going!

I found that I was struggling with some of my thoughts today.

Sometimes it can just feel like everything is downhill in the wrong way down,

as if it is all at splinters at one's feet

and it take me a bit of time to see that the feeling I had was, in fact,

wrong and that not all is in ruin in my life or 

that I have not made progress in some ways that I have long wished,

for my life here.

One of the treasured moments of the day are a bit of reading I do at night

and I am slowly reading an incredible book that I find so absorbing. 

It is called I Live Again and it tells the story of a Romanian Princess who 

is telling us of how her life changed irrevocably because of WWII and how

she had to learn to live again after losing so much of what she deeply loved.

I am excited about the Death with Dostoevsky book! 

This is the forth book by Katherine Bolger Hyde and I 

am really looking forward to reading it!

Life can have such difficult periods.

I pray that if you are in one of those God will help you

and comfort you in the midst of it all.
