This.

This is terribly important:

From Pinterest

I will be writing more about this in the days to come.

Also, there are flowers blooming and warm sunshine, and my heart is feeling a bit better. Thank you so much for bearing with me and for your encouragement - it's not nice of me to come and dump on you, but you are so patient with my bad moods and melodrama. I am very tired and have a lot of things to figure out, and don't have much energy to figure them; but I need to be like Peter and trust that, if I sink in the waves, Jesus will stretch out His hand and lift me back up. Thank you for reminding me that He will.

I also need to learn how to find more balance in my life. All day, I try really hard to be extremely sugary-sweet and happy with all of my coworkers and clients; so by the time I get home, my "happy tank" is completely drained and my "sad tank" is completely full, and I have to watch or listen to something - or just be, myself - sad or melancholy in order to bring things back into a balance. I need to learn how to constructively express some of my negativity during the day, so I have some reserves of positivity left for my family and blog in the evening.  :-)

And now I need to grab a few precious hours of sleep before doing it all again tomorrow ... beautiful adulthood!! I can't wait to jump back into grad school and get a few more years' reprieve!

Hugs!!
