Seasons

I was reading a devotional the other day that was all about life seasons. It was such a perfect devotion for me that day. And it has come back into my mind today. This is a new season for James and I, and anytime you do something new you are not quite sure how to proceed. So far I have been doing really well with everything, but today was not a banner day. I know that this season will have its own share of ups and downs, and just as I learn to navigate them they will change, but such is life. I have been so tired and I am pretty sure it is from the meds, but when you are having a hard time getting to and from work it becomes a big problem. I am so tired that I am getting grumpy and super emotional. I yelled at James this morning for something that was really nothing. Then when I got home tonight I started to cry for no reason. I am just a mess today! I hope that this is not the norm and is just a reflection of my crazy busy week at work. Wishful thinking I guess.

This season has thrown some curve balls my way, but overall James and I are navigating pretty well. I like the seasons, they bring change and a new perspective. I love the fall, the colors the smells, and of course the cider mills. I love the winter for that first smell of snow, and the beauty that it brings when everything has a nice new white blanket on it. Spring is great because it brings new life, the cold goes away and the grass starts to grow. Softball begins and so does spring training! Summer of course is great, trips to the beach, picnics, long drives and just some good old pokin' around. I am sure I will come to love this season just as much as the others. I can already tell that our marriage is getting stronger. James has been so wonderful through everything. Try giving me a shot every night! I know today was just the rain storm that forces you inside on a day you have a full schedule. This to shall pass. I know that God has a wonderful plan for us, and this is just a bump. You always have to look for the upside!
