Mood
Today was a better day. We are into a new month, and we are halfway done with the week. I cried as I watched Toshi’s zoom session with his preschool friends. Such precious time that was lost. I really enjoyed my walk with the older two girls. It really helps to have some 1-on-1 or 1-on-2 time – it becomes more of a quality time spent with them, rather than being in a “manager” mode. Daddy is extra tired from being in front of the computer all day. Sales are down, so that definitely doesn’t help with his mood.
We are into our second calendar month with #Quarantine2020. The road ahead seems very long. One day at a time.
Prayer
Abba Father, please continue to carry us through this month and beyond. May we all find “rest for our souls” in Your loving presence. Amen.
