It's been a while since I've logged in and written. Life got a little out of hand for the last few months. It feels like life is starting to slow down a little, and I can think again. We are beginning to settle into a routine without my dear husband here, and looking forward to when he will come back.
I had one of those mornings, where it took me an unusually long time to figure out what day it was. With my dear husband here, all I have to do is think, “Did he work yesterday?” The answer to that question automatically narrows down the options. I suppose that if I had been thinking clearly, first thing this morning, I could have just turned on the computer and looked. Alas, I am not one of those few blessed people who can jump out of bed with a smile and all my wits about me. It takes a few... well, a while. 
Though I do regret that I am not a truly morning person, like the rest of the family I was raised in, I am learning to be comfortable with who God made me to be. I may not wake up with a smile, but, once it shows up, it's usually there the rest of the day. God made each of us unique and I need to be thankful that He made me my groggy self in the morning. (Maybe that will bring the smile sooner; I'm not sure it will help with the grogginess though.)
