You are right - sometimes we just need to hear something, and it may not be with our ears. :)Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772700828819881141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-22490159408392003702017-09-12T10:44:14.990-04:002017-09-12T10:44:14.990-04:00Hi Tiffany,
It's funny because I just sent my ...Hi Tiffany,<br />It's funny because I just sent my best friend an email with virtually the identical subject line as your blog title. As a former librarian, I've always believed (along with Murphy Brown) that all of the answers to life's problems can be solved with a book, so over the weekend I reread one of my favorite books by Alexandra Stoddard - "The Art of the Possible - from Perfection to Freedom" and it was exactly the message I needed to hear. Maybe it might be of interest to you? It's about letting go of the idea that we can cram everything into our schedules. My doctor told me I'm the most Type A housewife she's ever met, so I'm trying to relax my obsessive to-do list and enjoy more peaceful moments. Hope you're finding peace!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15758211474505618515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-9927514368647656362017-09-08T10:44:49.474-04:002017-09-08T10:44:49.474-04:00Hi Melanie!

For laypeople, that's all you really need. Morning, Evening and Night prayer, and just selections from the other hours. <br /><br />So glad you're enjoying Sheepish! Maybe I'll pick that up tonight. :0Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772700828819881141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-23139328269542395402017-09-08T10:43:33.547-04:002017-09-08T10:43:33.547-04:00Hi Anne!

Girl, this was my mantra at the end of both this week and last..."I have nothing left to give." :0 And I feel so guilty, because I know that when I get home, Mike and the kids are going to want my attention! I'm getting there. But it's a tough balancing act, for sure!

Those of us out here in blog and podcast land will still be here when you return.<br /><br />I'm still enjoying night prayer and thinking about buying my own copy of Christian Prayer when I have to return the copy I'm using to the library. A couple of weeks ago you mentioned the book Sheepish. I picked it up from the library and read the first chapter at breakfast this morning. It looks like the other chapters may also be short which is perfect for breakfast reading. <br /><br />Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906826460232914998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-40474157118396262012017-09-07T13:50:20.420-04:002017-09-07T13:50:20.420-04:00Haha, I just typed a long comment and lost it some...Haha, I just typed a long comment and lost it somehow! Ok, to recap: I feel you, Tiffany! I also teach a lot (as a librarian) and find it overwhelming to give my students the amount of time and care I want/am expected to/think they need/etc. Part of it for me is the change in becoming a full-time working mom since having a baby last year. I just have less to give to people that are not my husband, son, or a few other family members or friends. So, trying to think of ways to expand my heart, if maybe not my energy, for others! Praying the rosary on the way to work sounds like a wise option.
