Getting used to the new normal

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.
