It's almost always a little crazy around here, but I love my kids. You are right about the taking time out, though. About four months ago, a friend and I started jogging together, and just ran our first 5k this last weekend!! I have never ever had a desire to run, but I am so thankful we did this, because I feel so much better, about myself and about life in general. It really is a stress reliever and only takes about 20 or 30 minutes a day. Sometimes I was running at 10:00 at night, but it has been worth it. Thanks for the encouragement!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400013362999368442.post-23106945384188102302013-06-21T21:45:31.853-07:002013-06-21T21:45:31.853-07:00This is so true.

My husband is often times gracious and handles everyone while I take a post dinner walk. It is amazing what even a 10 minute walk by myself will do. I always come back refreshed and eager to pour into my family once again!<br />Heather@Cultivated Liveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141323325746602171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400013362999368442.post-60211420625981716042013-06-21T04:41:17.739-07:002013-06-21T04:41:17.739-07:00Very recognizable for mothers with small children....Very recognizable for mothers with small children. Even for women without children, with a busy job and many social obligations. And for moms like me, with many worries. Thank you that you write so honest. Let's walk with God. Every day. Every hour. And ask Him: Refresh me. Make me an oasis for everyone around me.Aritha V. https://www.blogger.com/profile/05246873990952078356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400013362999368442.post-44159602772784561172013-06-20T15:30:28.452-07:002013-06-20T15:30:28.452-07:00Thank you for writing this.

I needed this encouragement today. :)Copper + Creamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15676325186985262356noreply@blogger.com
