Sometimes it’s good to get a time that isn’t busy, to do what you want to do. One day when all the kids but the baby were in school, I went on a walk down by the lake. The time alone was beautiful. Sometimes I fill up my life with more tasks and busyness. This was simply time to enjoy, time to reflect. A time to inhale, because if I always exhale, there’s not enough inside of me to keep going, or at least not keep going well.
