Meditation
Coming from an extrovert, who is married to an introvert, that alone can bring agitations and times of having to collect your thoughts. As an extrovert, having
7 children, 2 years apart and with many diverse expressions of themselves at any given time, can be stimulating and yes overwhelming.

I won't get into the jobs, losing them, and keeping them; with loyalty even as
they tend to rip us away from sanity!
Between the mountain of dishes (we don't have a dishwasher, per say) and laundry, and now with 5 kids at home, who get up everyday to go to school and a husband, busy listening, studying music production. I do have the time, to meditate, before everyone gets up.
It takes discipline not to go back to bed after the husband and kids have taken off. I get the coffee on and my Breviary. I don't want to think about anything outside of what the pages of my prayer book reveal to me. With a notebook and pen at my side, I write the words and phrases that require my attention, and then as I write I meditate.
That is not the only way I meditate. Sometimes, sitting at our dining room table taking the view of the outside through our bare bay windows, One morning I watched a squirrel clinging to a branch off one of the trees out the side, and weightlessly swinging back and forth, playfully.
Sometimes just putting on the kettle and having a cup of tea, is enough to point me in the right direction of being anxious for nothing.
