A while ago I made a whiny post about all the things I had had to do that day, and how overwhelmed I was. Pam commented to the effect "Way to bless your family today!"
What a great reframing; I hadn't been running my sanity into the ground in futile drudgery, I had been actively blessing my family with my effort and time.
Today, I had another blessing day, but I'm not nearly as stressed. I did a variety of time-consuming and tedious tasks, but they were all for people I love. (Even my mother-in-law.)
So, Pam, if you read this--you were one of the people blessing me today, even if it was in reflection of your earlier wisdom. Thank you.
