Finding Respite

Good Morning! As I have told you, I am a hospital chaplain. This work is very draining even to the point that I am lifeless. But you really can't be lifeless with a toddler who needs you. Just ask him. He tells me all the time, "Mommy, I neeeeeed you!" So what do you do when you have no life to give to the one who needs your life the most? You can either pull your hair out or you can find a place to journey to within the confines of your home.

I have had to call in the forces such as my friends and family to watch my son while I hid away. I didn't feel as guilty as I would should I have sent him away. He was near and I could still hear his voice but I was on my own island.

Mommies, some times you HAVE to steal away into your secret place (even if it is in your head) and just love on yourself. Be kind to you because you are the only one who truly will love you like you can love you.

Peace and Blessings My Dears,
Aurellia
