It's been just over a month now, and my life is starting to settle down. My girls thought I would be stir crazy, so they keep calling and checking on me. I love that about them. The funny thing is, that I am not stir crazy. I am finding so many different things that I need to do. I am able to spend more time with my grandkids. That absolutely amazes me.
The first month, I spent so many days sleeping in. At first I felt guilty, but then, I realized that it is okay. My body needs time to recuperate and regenerate. Now, I'm getting up at a reasonable hour almost every day. I have my cup of coffee, and I am starting to spend more time in my Bible. I need to work on that, but it's coming along.
Some days I cook dinner. Some days I do laundry. Some days I just play on my computer, and I'm learning that it's okay to do that.
I am able to help with the youngest grand while my son-in-love goes to dialysis. I'm able to help my oldest with her littles while she starts doing hair again.
It's a new normal, and it's a new kind of busy. I'm still in awe and wonder, and I'm still discovering things I can do.
