Find Serenity

One thing I’ve done to acheive this goal is to arrange for everyone in my home to have their own place to be alone. I think in a big family that’s critical to getting along. The kids room has a screen in the middle that can be put up or down with trucks on Isaiah’s side and butterflies on Rachel’s. Tristan has the patio where he goes to stare at the mountains and relax. And as of last night I have my room. I got rid of some things and did some serious cleaning and it’s beautiful. I finally have MY space. I have my vanity with my Grandma’s mirror, the lamp my mother made, my little jewelry box, and a few other things that make me happy. Also, I set up my bed which is very important to me since I have terrible insomnia. I have my bed made with my Grandma’s quilt and lots of pillows. Then I have my nightstand with everythng I need to fall asleep. I have 2 pictures of my kids, my favorite lotion, a bible promise book, the book I’m currently reading, and a yummy vanilla candle. For some reason readin in bed by candle light helps me sleep. It feels more natural I guess. Last night I slept better than I have in months.
