Oh goodness, I don’t even know where to begin. I feel like I’ve been burning the candle at both ends for years and now I’m just plain worn out. I keep telling myself to slow down and take it easy, but it’s like there’s always something that needs to be done, you know?

My grandkids are growing up so fast and I want to be there for them, but some days I’m so tired I just wanna crawl back into bed and hide from it all. It’s funny, I used to think I could handle anything life through at me, but now my nerves are just shot. I’ve been trying to find little moments of peace, like sitting outside with a cup of tea and listening to the birds, but I swear even the birds are louder than I’d like some days. I know I gotta take better care of myself, but it’s easier said than done. One step at a time, I guess.
