Today I took a day off of work. It was WONDERFUL. Super busy, but still wonderful. I’m quite busy again at work since they added two people to my team, causing me to manage 9 (which is one more than I’m supposed to). I’m also trying really hard to not cut corners with the ways I’m supposed to support my team since I did a lot of that in the past when I was working two roles and focused on my promotion. I have been working very hard lately and it was so nice to mix things up and spend time with my beloved family. I’m writing this entry on Saturday, and I actually now don’t remember a ton of what happened during the day. But these following two photos are jogging my memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After my stationary bike workout in the morning, I helped Lydia to make lemonade and then I enjoyed a glass with the kids. It was wonderfully refreshing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over one of our meals, Lily shared this letter which she really enjoyed reading. It’s very amusing. I’m sure it came up as we were all discussing covid-19, which is a regular topic of conversation in our home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two other highlights I can remember. First, I think this was the day that Lily and her mom hand a long healing conversation. There had been some friction and wounds regarding faith (I was partly to blame also), but Lily and Georgia really had some beautiful healing conversation. I was in and out of it as I was likely just doing things around the house, but I could tell something special was going on. I love those women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second highlight is that Lily and I made great progress setting up Ammon’s bedroom. We set up his bed, and carpet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also had my weekly meeting with my psychologist Mary Lou. I actually felt quite good today, so it was more like a nice chat catching up with my grandmother, but that was still nice. Mary Lou is a bit like insurance. When I’m not doing mentally well, I feel very very grateful for each visit. It is still healing and sustaining and good weeks though too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, I played “nobody leaves the couch” again with the kids. Man we all love that game \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
