Taking it Slow

I thought for a while there, that I might stop time I was going so fast. Visions of superman circling the earth were going through my head. I felt for a time like I was be pulled in every direction, but not enough in one direction or the other to be fully effective. Was I really do all I could for my family, for my work, for my parents, for my young women. And to be honest I was not sure I could do it.
Then It happened. I shouldn't be surprised. Of course it happened. It is the way of the world.

You keep going and going and going, and just when you have time to catch your breath. You get sick :(

Lets look at the up side of being ill.
1-No one wants you to take care of them. They really do not want to get sick with you
2-Staying in bed is not only necessary to getting better, but it forces you to stop going.
3-When you slow down you have time to remember things like, sleep, or eating healthy meals, or prayer. You know the little things.

What did I learn.
I can't do everything, nor do I have to.
I can put thing in priority order with me in the top three, and there is nothing wrong with that. I am not selfish. I am just alive.
I can not, and I mean NOT ever think I can do it all alone. I must include my Father in Heaven in all I am doing.
I can lean on my friends, my children, my husband for help. If I can help them. Then I should trust that they can help me.
The most important person I can lean on is my savior. When I feel at my whits end, when I think I can not take one more thing going wrong, when my plate is spilling over because it is so full. He is there for me. He is always there for me. He has never failed me, nor will he ever fail me.

It only take three weeks of crazy and one week of sick to remind me.
The truth is. I already knew that. I learned these lessons before at least ten times. I have even tried to teach these same lessons to my children. Guess I am human after all.
