exhausted

i feel like i have had the longest three weeks of my entire life.  last night when i started typing this post i did not even get past typing the title of the post before i felt the need to go to bed.  i spent this last weekend driving and flying back and forth between portland and seattle.  i had an event planned in seattle for the past few months, then my son's first communion was scheduled for the same weekend, and our friends suffered the loss of their sweet little daughter.  so i spent the weekend grieving, printing, working, attending a funeral (or rather a celebration of life), working an event, flying home for first communion and back to work again, and then driving home late on sunday........i am totally exhausted & missing my family like crazy.  oh, did i mention i am training for a marathon too..............need sleep!

i think that's enough feeling sorry for myself.  the one thing that i have learned these past few weeks is that most of the worries and problems that i have on a day to day basis are really kind of trivial in the grand scheme of things.  it is easy to get worked up over the little things in life when you are a busy parent, wife, and small business owner.  i had an order for a store that was overdue this last week, and i just honestly could not bring myself to drive across town to deliver it.  i could not worry about delivering this order when my friends, family, community, and myself were consumed with grief.  all i wanted to do was to help my friends in some way to get through their daughter's funeral, even if it was just making sandwiches & filling cups with candy, or finding the perfect yellow flower to wear to her celebration.  so the order was delivered late, and life goes on.
