It is another beautiful day... oh, who am I kidding. Today is a difficult day and I feel the need to pretend I am two again so I can lay in the floor and kick and scream and cry for my way. Do you ever feel that way? Well of course you do, silly! Should you deny it, then the reality will hit you even harder when it comes. We all feel it. We all conceal it and control it, but you know the feeling is there! Some days, because our clothes are still too tight after all that working out and starving. Some days because our children have pushed us over the limit and we determine somewhere in that hidden place of a Mama heart, "If I can't beat them, I will just join the little monsters!". Other days because really hard things are just that... really hard. Today, I dance with all those reasons and decided rather than warp my family for life from the view of my fit from the floor, instead, I would return to this blog I created months ago, but have ignored because of demands that seem to take over.

I return tonight, committed to make this my new place to vent, to share, and to celebrate. It is a safe outlet for my heart and a safe outlet for the mental state of my family. I don't know to connect with any of you out there yet, but I am going to figure this out and along the way, you and me are going to start sharing our Ties of Grace. I will go and search now... and I will finish what I began. Our tapestry remains colorful, but stained, but all our own. I am anxious to share it with you and see if somehow, that draws a new color scheme into the woven threads of my life!

Be blessed in your insanities today!
