For Real

Almost out of the jungle. My husband has been out of town since early Sunday morning and, though I have had tons of family help and support, I still feel as though I am coming undone. I have tremendous respect for single parents and those who do the traveling or military spouse on a regular basis. This has been a very trying time and may have been the thing that nudged me closer to outside intervention for my anxieties. We shall see...

Joining Monica for Keeping it Real 

Settle down...

Hey precious girl.

Why are your eyes aching, your voice shaking,

Is your spirit breaking?

Is your strength taking leave

From you?

Settle down little one.

Settle down and see

See the tools you have

You have the tools to be.

Be free and soar.
