As I was sitting waiting for my computer to load up this morning I glanced to books nearby. One of which was the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I have been meaning to read this book so I too can become effective - but when I looked at it this morning my cynical self said "Ha, I am sure that guy who wrote that book has never been a stay at home mum!" Not to say that there is anything wrong with the guy or the book - I have heard great stuff and really do intend to read it, or to say that stay at home mum's can't be effective. I know they can and are! I just sometimes feel like I am not one of those mum's.
In life there are ups and downs and, well at the moment as you might have guessed this is not an 'up' time. I just feel, at times, a bit like life has moved on without me and can't help wondering if I will ever catch up. Maybe I am just stuck in a bit of a rut! Doing the same thing day in and out and never having a moment to stop and look at which direction I am going in. See even on here I seem to be going in circles and making no sense at all! Yes I am a butterfly with one wing flying in circles and spiraling to a crash landing.
Having said all that though - I know that I have a soft place to land - in the hand of my Maker and when God seems invisable, He sends my friends. This week He has done just that. My situation hasn't changed but due to a couple of precious words from friends (and I'm sure prayers) my outlook has changed, albeit slightly but definately for the better. (Plus the little "I wuv ew"from Asher is nice too.
