3 good days

This week I enjoyed 3 days of energy! The kids started school on Friday, so I'm wondering if there is a direct correlation between the amount of rest I'm getting and how much better I'm feeling. I'm sure there is. I still have not been doing anything except sleeping, reading, making meals (ok, reheating them) and paying bills but that is about all my body can handle at this point. It is amazing how busy I used to be and how pared down life is now. I've found I can buy most everything I need, except perishables, online. If we can fork up the extra cash I can get pretty decent prepared meals and my kids have learned to do a lot of stuff on their own. Life is a lot simpler now. I feel lonely a lot, because the major "thing" missing from my life is people. But, I am starting to hear God's voice on the subject, and realizing how rich my time talking with Him can be if I take the time to do it. So often I want instant gratification, but He offers so much more if I will just be patient.
