I remember when I was always in motion from the moment my feet hit the floor in the morning until I collapsed exhausted in bed at night. I had to keep busy all of the time... it was the only way I could keep the frightening and horrible reality of my life at bay. I never had time to think or relax... I only had time to rush around trying to fix everything that was going wrong, trying to handle everyone else's problems and crises, trying to keep us and our family and HIM looking good.
Thank God for a program of recovery. I don't have to live like that anymore! I take time every day - even if it's only a few minutes - to be sure that I can relax, breathe, find the balance in my day.
