Reminded

Lately, I've been feeling a little overwhelmed with my life. Well, truthfully a lot overwhelmed. I am running on empty. I am working too many hours at my 'day' job, trying to do the coaching thing, trying to do one little class at a time (or I thought it would be little when I signed up), trying to fulfill my Stake RS calling, and trying to keep the Harris House going, spend any quality time at all with my guys -- and I get waaay too little sleep.

I feel horrible that my house is always a wreck, and that there are more 'makeshift' or FYO (Fix Your Own) meals in a week than real meals. I felt horrible at having to bail on our Stake RS presidency last night when it was time for setup of our event tonight so I could work on homework. I felt horrible when I had to miss both boys' soccer games this morning to work more on this same homework assignnment because I'll be out of town Monday when it's due. I felt horrible tonight when regardless of all the times I've been prompted to call a certain new sister on my VT list, I haven't done it. I saw her at the event tonight, and she's unavailable basically the rest of the month. And I think she really needs a visit. I go around lately feeling pretty horrible about stuff.

Sometimes I think I have it pretty hard!

And then I watched this link tonight, and was reminded of my many blessings, and that things can ALWAYS be harder.

I am grateful for my own challenges, and am going to try harder to not feel so overwhelmed. I am so blessed. After all, my challenges are good ones.
