I guess won't win any awards for writing each day but that is fine. The aim for this writing challenge is to try. I will continue to try.
The past few days have been "simply" BUSY. It was a busy weekend with homecoming activities and hosting a marching contest at our school. WHEW!
Yes, it was tiring but it was also good. It is good to be a part of a community that works together for community spirit and great events. It is good to mark time with my teenage daughter to see her growing into a beautiful young woman. It is good to work along side my family for a worthy event. It is good to be in a press box all day working along side my daughter and seeing her serving others and LOVING it.
It is a good tired. One thing I realized with my "simple" life I haven't put myself into such committed situations in a L O N G time. Often I have worked to keep my younger daughter "safe" and keep things moving along smoothly. I haven't stretched myself in a long time. I have lived in fear of letting others down if she got sick and took me away from the "important event".
I have come a long way and without even realizing it I took this event one step at a time. I didn't really stress over her health or make a back-up plan if she got sick. I simply moved forward.
At the end of this busy weekend I am tired. My house is a mess. The laundry isn't done. There aren't a lot of food choices for the week. My family is a bit grumpy and tired. BUT my life is good. I allowed myself to stretch and grow a little.
Tonight I am a good tired. With that I think I'll work on getting my tired family to bed a little earlier.
