tired

I'm sitting here this Sunday morning trying to get some rest -- trying to breathe and take one moment at a time. It is not as easy as it sounds. There is still a lot I need to do before tomorrow, but I am forcing myself to ONLY do what is needed for class.

This is where I'm going to have to find a balance and find it quick. In the future, I do not want ANYthing to disturb a day of rest. We all need one day where we put aside the daily and learn from the Divine. It is not our habit to do so, but it is necessary to have our souls fed as well as our brain and body.

I will have to work concerts on some Sundays, but it is not a habit, it is something that is temporary and won't be happening every day, thankfully. :)

The family (or most of it) is coming for a potluck lunch this afternoon and it will be nice to see them. I haven't had a chance to really talk with my parents for a week. That might not seem a long time to most, but it is for us. We at least try to get together once a week to catch up and when one of us misses it, it is not the same.

Right now, I'm listening to Charles Stanley and it's about forgiving others so that we won't give into bitterness and resentment. It is not an easy thing to do, but it is liberating and I pray that I have done so with those who've hurt me -- accused me unjustly -- recently. It is not worth my time and energy to hold on to something that will only hold me back from what I want to be in this life.

...which includes balance and regaining peace.
