I woke up this morning feeling a little blah. As the day went on, it got worse. I've only been up 3 hours and already wanna go back to bed. I have sooo much to catch up and get done today, but I really feel yucky. Times like this make me reflect on my daily routines. Did I eat enough yesterday? Did I rest enough? Did I do very much for ME recently? With 4 children at home (and school), a person can tend to overdo things. Right now, I have also been stressing unnecessarily about things that do me no good to worry about. God is in control--I am not. I probably need to tweak the routine a little, as I am also trying to recover my housekeeping schedule (little by little) and help my parents, who are going through some trials of their own right now.
One of the things that HAS been falling behind is my ME time. I used to make time for a hot bath, every evening. Lately, it has just been quick showers, then on to the next thing. I also used to take time to 'make myself up', every day. Make-up and hair are not truly necessary additions to a woman's day, but they do help you to at least feel better. The main thing I haven't been doing like I need to, is reading my Bible every day. I think that one little thing, above all others, is the glue that holds me together. I get so much encouragement from spending time with the Lord before I do anything else. It gives me my strength and focus for the day.
Now, I need to get off the computer, go have my devotional and then on to a hot bath; followed by make-up and hair. Maybe that'll help . . .
