Be Still ...

So ... I am sure you have seen on Instagram by now that I broke my foot last Wednesday night.  I am fine ... just need to slow way down for the time being!

I have learned a lot about myself in the last almost week.  

1.  I hate to be still.

2.  I hate to feel helpless.

3.  I hate to feel useless.

And yet, I need to be the first one a lot more in the near future then I expected to be and I need to come to terms with that.  I think being still makes me feel lazy and that I am not contributing to our family and our life.  I know ... silly.  But true.

I have watched a serious amount of TV, cuddled each member of my family, been waited on hand and foot and tried to patient.  It is only a broken foot and I need to just relax.  It will heal quickly and I need to use this time to regroup and recharge.

To be content in the stillness.

I will learn, pinky swear!

Side note ... 

I am hands down always blown away by the readers I have.  Yesterday was no exception.  I started out writing out swim team and the thoughts about the middle child just spilled out.  Your words meant so much to me and I thank you for each and every one!  I will write about our sons journey ... I just have to prepare my heart and mind for that post.  He is a happy, healthy 14 year old and I am thankful every single day for his presence in our lives.  

You are all amazing and I am incredibly lucky to have you!

Hope your Tuesday blows you away!!!
