I've been so focused on my own ...Oh, now, see? I've been so focused on my own perceived struggle, I didn't even realize that you, too, were having a low period. This is such a great job inventorying all the wonderful things in your life that make you happy - a healthy dose of perspective can give you just the right push back in the direction of good spirits again.<br /><br />It's funny, the healing and strengthening powers of sleep, isn't it? I, too, love (LOVE) my sleep and things go quickly downhill when I don't get enough. How kind of you to pass this delight on to your youngest daughter! :-) I think a little nap every now and then is an incredibly cozy thing! In fact, I think this long weekend may have at least one in store for me! lol<br /><br />Will you tell me what you are cooking in your kitchen that makes these wonderful leftovers? I love having leftovers that people swoon over!!<br /><br />(And thank you for your kind & supportive msgs on my blog)Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623233206043947281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-16785415884922628872010-09-02T14:46:14.204-05:002010-09-02T14:46:14.204-05:00I love this post too! I love the thought of home b...I love this post too! I love the thought of home being your safe harbor. I have felt that way about most of my homes and am still trying to find comfort here at the new place. It's hard when I know I'm only here for less than a year. <br />I think EVERYONE should have therapy at least once. I went to a counselor during and after my divorce. It was the wisest thing I ever did. If nothing else, it made me realize my feelings and thoughts were normal and I wasn't crazy. My oldest daughter benefitted from therapy and like I said, I think everyone should have it! <br />I hope you continue to find your happy place. Sometimes for a mom running crazy, it's ahrd to see.<br />(oh, and I SO love cooking for my family too :) )Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07196257750016200916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-6625154811232270892010-09-01T22:16:24.802-05:002010-09-01T22:16:24.802-05:00I absolutely love this post! You have listed some...I absolutely love this post! You have listed some wonderful & powerful examples of why you should feel empowered and happy -- good for you! And I applaud you for any type of therapy -- I think sometimes people shy away from the word and are afraid about it, but why? There's nothing wrong with talking about things with someone who is objective -- life is already confusing enough as it is, and we only get one! It's important to live it and simultaneously figure it out!!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.com
