When I feel like I am drifting at sea, and I do sometimes! I try to remember the lighthouse for my life.
I have been feeling Blah! Just keeping this real.
I know this is another stage of life. Heading into sailing the sea of, when you raise the kids, long marriage, bills. New waters to tread, boring yet blessed.
I have finally realized life it just ordinary, everyday life. I need to remember, when I was so tired, I was longing to get back to ordinary.
When I feel this way, I should remember the title of my blog, right.
Amen...we have to keep our eyes on that Lighthouse....

Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteThis story reminded me so much of l0 years ago when I had a large tumor removed from my ovary,
followed by a hysterectomy.
I was so devastated by the worry, all the doctor's appointments, surgery, waiting for results, being incapacitated, not being able to do anything.
I got a call from my best friend growing up, we talked about everything else but how I felt. When she finally pressed me into an answer, I fell apart.
I kept saying, all I want is to go back to my ordinary life. I want to take care of my family, do the wash, go grocery shopping, etc. Out of all in life there was to miss, I found myself longing for my every day chores!
I learned from that experience what really matters to me and to cherish my ordinary life!
