Silence is needed
I've scheduled my days very carefully. Time management is a great tool. I will always back that time management is important. I've forgotten to schedule in some quiet time. Today, the kids and myself had a service day. We went to the elderly or disabled neighbors and pulled weeds or helped with chores. Then we took off to the lake.
When we got home I went out on my balcony and just took a breath. That lasted almost an hour. I decided I needed to add that hour to my schedule. Have any of you had a similar realization?

Jennifer - I think the agreement is that we have all had this situation, and you have the absolute correct solution. And what you are teaching your children regarding giving back is invaluable!
Thank you. I have watched a very entitled generation become a very whiney generation.... I wouldn't be okay with myself as a parent of my children grew up whiney and entitled
Amen to all you said and congratulations on what you are doing with YOUR children. We will ALL benefit from your parenting.
Thanks JDunyon,you are a very wise person,I also take time to have some quite, it is so refreshing,you are teaching your children how to serve others,you are a good example for all of us.
I want my kids to understand genuine service isn't giving because of what you may get, but giving what others can't get on their own. You don't have to have money or abnormal abilities or connections you simply must do

Yup, when I have been rushing around too much, I regularly realise that I just need to breathe... quietly for a bit! :)
Usually when I realize I to breathe its under a lot more stressful situations. But yesterday was very calming and I just wanted to sit in that calm longer
Good for you :)
