After day 5 of my sabbatical, I am still overwhelmed by the fact that I do not have to make the time to do things that I love, but I now have the time! Regularly, I have to add simple things to my calendar, just to get them accomplished! Such as, reading my daily devotional, 15 minutes of strength training, spending quality time with my family, etc. I have been able to do these things daily and not had to make the time! I was able to plant flowers, watch my oldest son, Trey, start his high school basketball career, spend quality time with my middle son, Ty, who absolutely loves the outdoors, and watch my youngest son, Alec, play his last season baseball game (loves to make a silly smile for photos! :). Normally it doesn’t come easy fitting these things in. What a joy it has been so far! I feel extremely blessed and am looking forward to starting my first community service project on Friday.
