Nothing Huge, but Life Changing

I still haven't had anything huge. Mostly send a quick text to so-and-so, ask so-and-so this, listen to so-and-so, hug your kids, pay attention!, put down your dang phone, etc. Like I said, nothing huge. But, when I do put down my dang phone in the car, Christian talks to me. Really talks. He's 15. He's a boy. I guess that is huge.

Today, Jude was being destructive and hard. I had the prompting to invite him to help me do my stuff. It took twice as long to vacuum, twice as long to scrub the shower, twice as long to do the laundry, twice as long to scrub the sinks, but he loved every second of it. Tonight when I was lying down with him to get him to sleep, he just kept leaning over and kissing me. He had had a happy day.

I also felt that I should ask a friend who had a traumatic brain injury if she had found anything that would relieve the swelling in the brain. My brain is super inflamed from Lyme, to the point of being scary. She had some really great suggestions that I will try. I am excited.

I love Stacy's last post about peace of mind. As I look back over my day, I realize how much peace of mind I experienced. Most of my non-Lyme anxiety comes from being overwhelmed, but that overwhelm is nearly gone when I focus on my SayGoBeDos. That is life changing.
