exhaustion

we have fallen off cloud 9.

like, plummeted to the ground kind of falling.

in our plummet many aches & pains joined us,

as well as some illness,

& many tears.

whew.

what a ride this has been.

what a ride it is,

& i don't believe it is quite over.

i have experienced emotions this week that were firsts.

have you ever been so high on adrenaline that you overdose?

ugh. pure sickness. tummy churning sickness.

oh, and don't forget the tears. 

sobs. and more tears.

have you ever been so high & had something steal that moment?

anxiety abducts the bliss.

no matter how you "self talk" it is hard to not be angry.

frustration shouldn't be a part of all "this".

"this" being cloud 9 - super bowl bound - dream filling - bliss.

we have fallen off cloud 9.

we are exhausted.

but it is not over. 

in these last few days at home as a family,

we plan to rest.

rest. soak this in. 

the joy & excitement that is.

and all that is to come.

we are floating in our good gift.

taking delight in what HE gave us.

being so thankful for this moment.

& not letting deception steal it.
