Life is Challenging Enough

It probably goes without saying that during these past few weeks in grief I have set my Spring Challenge down and will not be picking it back up.

I don’t feel up to a challenge at the moment, and that’s okay. Sometimes life is challenging enough. These days feel that way.

I’m not unhappy, don’t get me wrong. I have plenty of joy in my heart. God is gracious to us, and still, life is challenging enough to not want to push myself at the moment.

Our little Laney girl graduated from preschool last night. It was so special! She’s on to Kindergarten next school year. Summer break is here for her, now.

Piper will be closing out her elementary years next week, as we prepare for her 5th grade send off. Nick will be DJing the event, and I’ll be helping too. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter!

In the midst of it all, my sisters kids have been in town and we’ve been spending our free time with them each day. It’s been so nice to have them here. It’s bittersweet to experience what it would be like if they lived nearby. We’ve done a bunch of fun things already, with more to come.

My garden still needs planting. I’m not necessarily behind but I am behind in comparison to when I’ve started my garden every other year. That’s okay though. It will get planted when it gets planted and I’ll enjoy it all the same.
