Another busy week

So it has been another busy week with kids school projects band concerts added to the general running of the home.  I have been feeling good so I have been quite productive.  In talking to my husband in the evenings I find that I almost always rate how good a day I have had based on how much of my to do list I have accomplished.  I need to stop that!  I have more value than how much laundry I get done or whether the floors were vacuumed.  My happiness should not be measured by how much housework I am able to do.  More wrong thinking on my part.  I do this quite often.

 My parents will be visiting for our spring break.  They arrive on Good Friday and I am more than a little excited.  I must confess to them  a health issue I have been having though and I haven't felt like speaking of it.  I feel like a failure even though it is something almost completely out of my control.  More wrong thinking...see the pattern here.  I think I am afraid of being perceived as a failure of some kind.  I don't even feel right talking about this here yet which is unfortunate as it was meant to be a journal of sorts.  Know that I am okay and healthy and will maybe write something soon.  I haven't mentioned it to my mother though because I know that she will freak out and I feel like she worries about my sister so much that I don't need to add to her worry list.  More wrong thinking.

So my prayer today is that we stop the wrong thinking and negative self talk.  I pray that all my readers see themselves the way that the Lord sees them.  We can be our own worst critics can't we.    Have a blessed weekend all.
