Rest and Breathe Today

December 27, 2017

Is today one of those days where it is taking you all day to get your simplest of daily tasks done?

You are not alone.

I am finding today one of those days where I do a task and then I need a break. I do another task and need another break.

Are you also having this kind of day? I suspect the hustle and bustle of the Holiday Season has caught up to me leaving me feeling exhausted.

I am trying to not feel guilty for having a day where a soft warm blanket and a book or my iPad makes me happy.

I am certain many of us are finding ourselves in the same situation.

Although I am not good at taking my own advice, I would tell you to give in to your tired body and take the day to sit back and relax before the busyness of life sets back in.

Take today to just…. Breathe.

Your mind and body will thank you for it later.

About Me

Heidi Benson

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I served in the United States Army, went to college, received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology, homeschooled my daughter every year from start to finish, and now I am currently a teacher at our local Christian School. I married my husband when he was in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform. While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 26 years old now, was born and I made the difficult decision to put my career on hold to be her mom. The past 20 years have been wrought with many struggles but as a result of those struggles, this blog was created. As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to then it is my desire to allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing." The years passed and the struggles did not. However, I feel now is the time God wants me to share these stories of hardships with the hopes they provide encouragement to you if you are struggling in the same way. It is my prayer they will serve as a healing opportunity for you. I want you to know you are not alone. There are others who know where you are and what you are feeling. Cling to the hope this won't last forever and that God is standing beside you while He holds you up and dries your tears. He is showing you the way, you just need to follow Him. Big Hugs, Heidi
