The Tide is Changing...

Life has a way of shifting, sometimes in ways we don't expect.  The tide started changing for me when I found myself juggling so much--motherhood, work, and the uncertainty of home life.  There were moments I don't know if my husband would still have a job, if rent would get paid, or even if he'd have a new girlfriend.  But in the middle of that storm, a breath of fresh air came through a friend--someone who lived just two buildings away.  Spending time with her and her daughter gave me an outlet, a space where I could relax, laugh, and feel some ease.  And then, there were the moments with my son--going to the mall, having fun at Six Flags.  Those times reminded me that even when life felt uncertain, joy still existed.  The tide was shifting, not because everything got easier, but because I found little moments of relief.  And sometimes, that's all we need to keep going.
