Deep Breaths: Life, Love, Family

I woke up this morning good and stressed and feeling it all over my body.  There are three big family events in the next four days, and I had company coming today.   Eek!  I ached.

I sat myself down and had a good talk with myself.  I took lots of deep breaths.  I prayed.  I do not want these next four days to go by in a blur and with me in full stress mode and my kids feeling the brunt of it. 

All of these events are about celebrating life, love, and family.  That is my goal.  My goal is not perfection in any area.  My goal is to celebrate with those I love, to sit down and hold my little ones so they feel less stress from all this excitement, to soak in all this excitement and reflect it back to everyone.
