I have been struggling the last couple of weeks with motivation, desire and just fighting off plain laziness. I don't really know what the term is for it. It seems like depression, only I don't feel unhappy - just blah. Thursday it finally came to me that the only solution was to pray. So I did. I prayed for motivation to do the things I needed and wanted. I prayed I would be able to kick myself back up to the surface of my life. I prayed for whatever it was I needed to get myself back on track.
Heavenly Father answered my prayers. I know it. You know what the kick was? Dealing with the antics of my toddlers yesterday. It was a massively taxing day! But you know - I made it through without losing it on my kids. I even laughed. I got some cleaning done that I have been needing to do that I have been trying to work up the umph to do. And today? Because I did it yesterday, I could do it again today. And tomorrow? I did it today - so I'll be able to do it tomorrow.
Prayer works people. Even when the answer we get may kick our bums for a bit. I just don't recommend praying for patience. :)

So true! Glad for you. Wonder why we often forget to pray for those little things that we really need!
Love these posts, Mary--and I am afraid that our Robbie is going to be like Jacob...he is already very busy at only 14 months. Fun fun. Thanks for sharing and for the updates--but wow about all your health challenges. Glad that you're feeling on the mend.
