Oh what the peace of a quiet Sunday afternoon can do for the soul!
The past month has been a blur, to say the least, but we knew that was how it was going to be. When a new baby comes many things also come with it. Most of these things are wonderful- like all the help and support from friends and family- yet some of it just adds more stress to things. The only perspective that brings with it the sanity to survive is to know that this, too, will pass and some semblance of a "normal" life will come again in time.
Well today was the day we got over the hump. Justin was blessed in church today and most of the family has been around here and there for the past few days. Now everyone has returned to their homes and things here have settled down.
As grateful as we've been for the abundance of help we've had since Justin's birth, it feels really good to have things back to being just us. Of course it won't be life as we knew it, but it will be life as we make it once again. There's something calming and restful in that thought.
