Dear Gabriel,
So I am bugged. I actually have been bugged for a couple days. My emotions have been on a roller coaster with packing, moving, traveling, weddings, getting ready for choir camp, managing group conflicts, organizing my time, balancing bills and who to pay first, missing my family, project management… I have just allowed my emotions to be on edge.
But I know the answer. Have I taken time to meditate and study the last 2 weeks? No. Have I taken time to really pray? No. Have I taken time to really exercise? No. Have I taken time to eat well and sleep well? No. My schedule is completely off.
It never ceases to amaze me how when I take care of the essentials in my life, then my life takes good care of me. When I don’t take care of the essentials, it feels like my life is just cramming issues and problems down my throat. It all has to do with how I prioritize my time and myself.
Remember, no matter what life throws at you, take time for the essentials. I truly believe the answers are finding peace and being in balance. Remember, your mom hasn’t always been perfect with how she handles things, but hopefully she is learning enough to love more each day and appreciate what life throws at her.
I am learning. As you get older, please be patient with me when I have times that I am 'off'. I will always bounce back :-).
I love you,
Your Mom
You, my sweet friend, are amazing! Gabe is so blessed to have you as his mother. I have learned so much from you. I continue to learn from you... always. You are right "on the mark" with your thoughts. We all know the answers. And you live them. Hugs! Bren
