Heading into a Rut

After how well things went today I really hope that we are heading into a rut. I would love to see each day pass as pleasantly as this one. Though I feel on the verge of tears most of the time I still managed to be light most of the day and our new schedule really played out the way it is supposed to so that is a relief. I know that if we can keep it up for a couple of weeks it will really stick. It is hard to know how to deal with the kids stress and heartache at not having Chris around and balance my own. I started my day with prayer and journaling, I know that this is a big help in getting the day going right. Venting in a long phone call also did its part, thanks Brother.When there are so many things that need to line up in order for our family to be together it gets to be really overwhelming. I pray that I can maintain a joyful perspective in the midst of this. Thanks to all of you who have commented, emailed or called. I really appriciate the encouragement and the knowledge that you are praying for us.
