This week, we landed somewhere in the neighborhood of Second Winter, Spring of Deception, and Mud Season. Inevitably, Third Winter followed and that's where we're currently standing as I watch white stuff flit through the air and listen as the wind howls in protest.
We soaked up the sunshine while we had it though, walking, playing in the yard, and working on the homestead, with light hearts and warmth on our faces. There were towels on the line and breezes skittering through our home, refreshing and reviving us.
In a fit of spring rage-cleaning, I cleaned out the garden and planted lettuce in my mini milk jug greenhouses. Outside work is such a healthy way to blow off steam.
I'm still not certain how much I'm planting in the garden this year. This mama is juggling a lot and my normal Blossom work force is not always around, leaving me wondering how much I can realistically juggle. This is a challenge, unique to the season of launching adults and guiding teens.
Your work force graduates and you're back to doing many of the tasks alone...
or mostly alone.
Sometimes I feel emotional about this and sometimes I just barrel through. The core is still the same for me:
Work as unto the Lord.
Serve Him with excellence, by serving my family with excellence.
This is the guidepost I come back to when I'm struggling with my attitude.
