Joy

I went to bed thinking about "joy" and woke up thinking about it also. I feel like I am always correcting someone, asking someone to do something, completing a chore, ect. I feel like since April, when the girls came, I have not been able to relax enough to just enjoy my family and my life. I really want and need to try to slow down and enjoy the journey. I want to so bad, but the busyness always seems to take over, or the children not doing what they are supposed to be doing.

I turned the big "40" yesterday. I wonder if that is why I am thinking about this?

I believe God wants us to have joy in the journey. I am going to really focus on hugging, laughing and visiting with my children more. I realize "visiting" sounds silly, but I am usually task focused and not just talking with each of them.
