Many people have reached out to me after my last post. I didn’t expect such kindness! Thank you to those of you who wrote and to those who have prayed. I’m very grateful.
I think it’s the relentlessness of it all that bogs me down. There’s no hope for relief. Even finding an occasional babysitter seems like a difficult obstacle. An overnight getaway is almost impossible. Anne’s care is so specialized… it’s tough to find a qualified caretaker with every-now-and-then availability. I love Anne – but she wears me out sometimes ;)
Oddly, what has been the most helpful has been to introduce two other relentless activities into my daily routine! Blogging through the Bible is also relentless, but it has been a fountain to my parched heart. Also, I’ve been running daily. I look forward to both pursuits as they strengthen me both spiritually and physically.
So, even though I sometimes long for a break from it all – what’s helped me the most is sticking with a relentless routine… Go figure.
And by the way… I just published my 50th post on bible365blog.com. I’m pretty proud of myself :)

Way to go Kathryn on the Bible blog! It is crazy that ADDING something to a crowded life gives energy if it is the right thing. 50 days in a row is quite an accomplishment.

Interesting, isn’t it, that when the world streeeeetches us, sometimes the healing factor is to choose to stretch on purpose! Somehow they in turn help eachother……our mucles grow stronger faster, I think, grin.
Continuing to lift you up, as always.
