Peace and Quiet

As busy as last week was around here, I'm happy to say that this week is moving at a much slower pace. We have far fewer visits scheduled and that is allowing for more quiet time. Michael has been especially drowsy today, so this is good. I want him to get the rest he needs during the day because his sleep is disrupted at night, too.

However, last night was one of the best nights we've had in recent memory. Michael didn't call for me between just before 11 o'clock until shortly after 2 am, and I was able to fall asleep and stay asleep during that stretch of time. That was the longest I've slept during the night in some time, and it felt so good.

I finally took the time this afternoon to watch another message from my pastor regarding healing, and I'm going to make an effort to watch a message of his most days because it's faith affirming. I also need to take advantage of the time Michael's mom is here and get in a nap each afternoon before she leaves. These are some little things I can do to take better care of myself.
