What a beautiful day today was. The pool is becoming my best friend now for a stress reliever. At one point today I had it all to myself for over an hour. Peace and quiet, no one around. Being able to relax, reflect and meditate. Then shortly thereafter, I was surrounded by what seemed like 16 people, half of them screaming kids! Amazing how I can be off into a ‘sweet bliss’ then open my eyes and discover I was not alone anymore..... Oh well.....
Oh that stinks... but at least you did get an hour right. Are you feeling any better today? I hope so. Blessings to you. Tammy

Perhaps God is teaching you how to use quiet moments as well as the chaotic ones. The transition is part of the learning process. Enjoy it all.
