Time to Breathe: Time for Respite

I have been struggling trying to find words to express what is on my mind. I have been living for years in a fight or flight mode, so much that my body, mind and spirit right now are exhausted. I need some time to recover from everything. I am exhausted from all that we have been through and there is a lot of relief, my mind, body and spirit need to rest now. 

I am happy to say that our life has taken a turn for the better. 
  1. Ron's EEG results came back positive, no seizures at this time, which is a good thing. 
  2. Ron's feeling better each day. He is not on as many medicines as he was at the start of this.
  3. All of our bills are completely caught up and it didn't take any loans or our taxes to fix this, it was a lot of patience and discipline. I can even get a new set of tires on our car, which is a huge relief.
  4. I have a stable position with my employer and I have no complaints with them, in fact I look forward to working each day. 
  5. Ron and I are each starting with a new Bible study tonight with our church, he is going to a men's one and I am going to a ladies one. 
  6. We have a new leader in our country and it's exciting to see him in charge. I fully support President Trump all the way. 
  7. I am close to my mom and our relationship is growing stronger each day.
Perhaps this year will continue to be better as we go along. 

Things I will be doing to restore my entire being this year, because I need to start focusing on my own well being, not just worrying about Ron or others. 
  • Bible study
  • Listen to music
  • Watch light hearted, fun movies. Even rom-com is great.
  • Read some books
  • Do some arts & crafts
  • Go window shopping or mall walking.
  • Go walking and hiking outside to get sunshine
  • Visit the zoo, desert museum and more.
  • Go to Tombstone
  • Dance and sing
  • Exercise
  • Garden
  • Get a facial, pedicure, get my nails done and maybe a massage even. I never had a massage before, it may be nice to have it. 
I plan on using my vacation time at work in February to take some time off to rest up. 

God is answering prayers for us. 
I am still trusting Him.
