a very needed day of quiet

A blessed day of rest. 

Reading Theo of Golden, much thanks to my blog friend Sara for the recommendation! 

I slept better last night. Thank God. It's been up and down again lately.  Yesterday was difficult. 

So today I knew I needed as much alone time as possible to basically recoup and in a way re-stabilize. 

I'm very grateful for my New York City day because I got a lot done. I'm very comforted by one of the journals I bought for my future. God willing because it's so beautiful and yet functional. 

I'm grateful that I have the other two frames and put cards in them. They will be for my two adult goddaughters who I haven't given them to yet.  It's so while apart, we have something that is the same other than our bond and faith in Christ.  

Thank God for His Mercy.  

I've been going through a lot of old papers and this morning I filed a list of Christmas gifts I had done probably in 2022.  It's funny how you don't realize how wonderful something is at the time until it's taken from you.  But I'm trying to live a little differently now.  To not assume I will have permanency but instead do my best everyday to love those I'm with and to cherish where I am.  

I really love my life here. Yes, I've been through something incredibly difficult that gave me the illness of complex PTSD. But yet life is more beautiful than ever.  

May God have mercy on us.
