What I purpose to do though, is when I realize I'm falling short, to examine myself and remain open to change.

Demands increase daily. many times we are mistaken, neglected, misunderstood and yet we either must continue on the treadmill or get off and watch the world pass us by. I live daily with those of whom i dont meet their expectations, and i cannot be concerned with that. demands are enough but we can do little things in our lives to help us cope. Take moments out of the day, for a short time to breath deep, drink some water, and let your mind rest from all concerns. Take a short walk or quick nap, resting your eyes and then begin again. Perhaps your personal observations of yourself are true, or maybe you are being too hard on yourself. Take some time, breath, talk to your husband, listen to your husband and start each day new. :) It is very difficult to live life with it all together.

I am sitting here in tears. God brought me over to this site I am sure of it. As with all the previous posts words cannot express the impact this hit me with. That man's life is mine, 18 years in. I can see where he would say the very same thing about me. How very sad, because I love him and our children more than words can say. I would ask that you re-share this post on a regular basis. It is by far the most impactual thing that I have ever read. God Bless you, and you have a new follower for sure!!!

I've just found your blog and found this post and I am in tears 8 days ago I lost my best friend, it was sudden as she was not unwell, I feel blessed that she allowed me to be with her as she passed away. She has left behind two very young children, only 7 and 5. I am totally devestated and I am in all honesty struggling to come to terms with it. I've arranged her wake as her husband asked me too and we are going to have a pretty and beautiful goodbye to my beautiful friend.Losing her has scared me so much about my own life, and after reading your post, I felt that I was reading about myself! I am constantly on edge, constantly stuff needs finishing or even starting, I am stressed beyond belief. I too have two beautiful young boys (9 and 4) who as anyone can imagine try your patience at the best of times.I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this post that you wrote, it has made a few things clearer for me Deanne xx Robin

I try and try (but it's not about us, is it?) to be a kind, peaceful mom and wife, who keeps the home in perfect order and homeschools perfectly, and prepares delicious meals... and I always fall flat on my face. My husband tells me, "Stop trying to be perfect!" He loves me unconditionally right now, but we've only been married seven years. If I'm still the same in another seven years, will he still love me the same? Or wish things had been different... Your story is so, so convicting!
