Struggling Well With Life

The last few weeks have been jammed packed, with little margins. A lot of Christmas stuff to do at church, and at home. We had a staff party at the house which forced us to get everything done by yesterday at 11:30am. I have not been this tired in a long time, before you think I am just working too hard, let me confess that I did a half marathon last Saturday which subtracted a bit from my endurance. (Side-note: after knee surgery last year, my doctor said I could run once a week, which is all I do. He did not say how long those runs could be.) Anyway, last night the four of sat in a clean decorated house eating leftovers, and we had an hour or so of meaningful conversation, and laughed a bit too. In the middle of dinner, I just couldn’t get over how incredibly blessed I am. It was one of those moments, that today is still bringing me joy. I have no big expectations for tonight, just grateful for last night.
