When life is overwhelming, ODAT
Permalink  

Lately I'm not coping as well as I have in the past.  I have one brother with aggressive cancer, and the other brother with heart issues.  My sister is not grounded in reality at the moment, a great concern, and my spouse is in early recovery--life is tricky and inconsistent.

I lean into my program tools every day.  I try to take one day at a time and not project into the future.  Sometimes I need one hour at a time and/or one minute. And of course, God grant me the serenity.....

Sending hugs Lyne. There are some seasons of this life which are more testing than others. What can we do except surrender and take care of ourselves. This morning all I could do was clean the bedroom I share with 3 of my children and fold laundry before curling up for a nap in the nice clean space. That was what self care looked like for me today. Once I would have felt guilty. Today I feel allowed to rest when I need to. Progress not perfection hey. Hope you've got some self care carved out for you in amidst all that's going on with loved ones.
