Midnight Thoughts
It’s 12:15 am, I’m sitting in the comfiest couch of the house. Everyone is asleep, but I can’t fall asleep, well, I don’t want to because if I do, I’m afraid that I won’t wake up on time to go to the airport. My mom and I are catching a super early flight, I’m accompanying her to go back home after an almost three month vacation in Chicago.
I’m starting to feel relaxed, I haven’t had a chance to catch my breath in a while, life has been extremely hectic, chaotic, and overwhelming at times from every possible direction, but this beginning of a vacation for me feels good already.
I have always stressed the importance of self care to my children -adult children now- but sometimes, I fail to do that myself. I’m planning to be more deliberate about it, not to focus too much on the things, people, and circumstances that cause me stress, and focus on “my”real purpose of life, which is to live each day with more intention about the things that bring me joy, finding moments of rest, and solitude, and working on deepening my prayer life.
The month of October has been particularly stressful for our family, and I have struggled to stay calm, cool, and collected. I don’t like it, feeling out of control is not a good feeling for me, well, I supposed not for anyone, but it has also forced me to look within myself and learn from all those experiences.
Life is a journey no question about it, and I’m enjoying all of it, the ordinary, and also extraordinary experiences.
I’m hoping to start writing more again. Journaling brings me so much joy, but I haven’t had time for much lately, but I’m intentionally changing that soon. ☺️
Here is to doing more of what we love! ❤️
