Falling

I fell down today. Literally. I was walking Elijah to the pool. The sidewalk is uneven and I am a klutz anyway. I tripped and dove straight down. skinned my palms and knees. I am quite sure it wasn't a pretty site - seeing me tumble. Elijah was a bit shaken - but once he knew I was okay, he was fine. Kids fall all of the time and are just fine, so why did this scare me so badly? I just fell down.. nothing major. I guess because I am older. I am sore now. My shoulders, my left hand, my knees, my pride. At least I was shielded by the trees so no one at the pool saw my little accident. I am sure someone would have laughed. Sadly, I sometimes think it's a bit funny when people take a tumble.. after I know they are okay, that is. Oh well. Guess I should pay attention to where I am going.
The day was actually pretty good. We went to church this morning, which was great. Enjoyed brunch at Shorty Smalls - which we NEVER do anymore.. painted the upstairs hallway, spent an hour at the pool with Elijah, then went to our Financial Peace class.. Wow.. when I type it all in here, it really sounds like an action packed day! Tomorrow begins a busy week.
Prayers for today: rest and peace, healing for Elijah, understanding and courage, financial blessings..

About this blog

I am a 43 year old Mom of 2 awesome kids. I have one child with a serious illness. Caring for him is mostly what I do - with a few other things mixed in here and there. I have been married to the same wonderful man for nearly 15 years now. I am forever on the quest to change my life for the better. I want to be more organized, much healthier, and much thinner. So far, I'm not getting there. This blog is for my ramblings and frustrations while on my neverending quest for improvement.
