Regroup

Stay focused. Eye on the prize. What's the goal? What do you want long term?  How do you want things to turn out in the long run?  Big questions that get lost easily in the every day. The holiday season is coming to an end and the energy is winding down as well. The flurry of activity has thrown our family off in terms of sleep, health and routine. My goal is to get us back on track in the coming week. The baby and I have been sick for over three weeks. We are now both left with a big cough and lack of sleep isn't helping anyone. No fun. Last two nights have involved late nights of the baby being awake and talking (he loves talking to the Buddha head on the table) and him being so fussy you can't even put him down when he is sleeping. It has been five days since I left the house and had time, even a half hour, away from my kids. Not good self care. Trying to get better at that too.  For now it is a time to regroup and reflect on the next year's goals. To be continued....
