When I was drowning in exhaustion from having three children under the age of four, it was hard for me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I knew it would come and that the kids would become more independent, but sometimes it felt like I would never get any sleep. I would often remind myself to "keep my eyes on the light." This helped me through some challenging times.
Sometimes I get to feeling that way today, but for a different reason- deadlines. As a writer, I am basically self-employed. I love that aspect because it allows me to work while I keep up with the tasks of running a family of five. I have so many projects I have to keep up with, though, I don't even have time to finish up the book I have been working on for several years. I guess I need to remember to "keep my eyes on the light," which today is when my book finally gets published. Until then, I will trudge through this busy time and revel in the fact I am happier than I have ever been.

I was the same way when Randy was ill and I had trouble "keeping my eye on the light." I am better now because I have more time, but I am going to write down my goals instead of just thinking about them. Seeing my goals in print makes me more determined to reach them. Good post, Laurie!
Oh how I know how you feel! I've been in search of a good meditation Trying to find some peace and answers in meditation. I've come across some great ones already. What book are you publishing? I'm so proud of you...xoxo
Peggy- My mom always writes list and now I do, too. I also like "seeing" goals, plans, etc.
Jeni- I can't wait to catch up with you. I am not publishing the book yet- still trying to get it finished and polished.
