The Energy of the World Is Powerful Right Now
I just want to hunker down and breathe.
It is powerful, and there is a part of me that just wants to go into hibernation, as far as the world goes, and stay in my witness that God is in charge.
Little things have been going amiss here at home. I had a couple of deaths in family and what felt like family. But I am not allowed to mourn with others. Then again, mourning really is a singular occupation because we each process it differently.
Self-maintenance has been my lifestyle.
I know serving, and I enjoy it, but I find that self-care is what is required of me lately.
And that will be enough.
To hold steady in my witness of the atonement in a world that seems so distraught is valuable in and of itself.
Forgiving the hysteria and confusion that we find ourselves in and grateful for those who reach out to lift our communities and spirits.
I want to follow the prompting to send a cheerful note to a lady that I know is shut in at a care center and not able to have the regular visits of her son.
Following those promptings allows us to lift others and ourselves at the same time.
