Scream First then Coffee and a Slice of Pie

Maybe today is not the day we meet at our usual restaurant to sit politely and speak in low voices. Maybe today is a more shout it from the rooftops and get everything off our hearts kindof meet up. Sometimes we just need to get primal and release all the build up of life into the woods or our pillow. My suggestion is get outside and take a friend you know loves you even when you are releasing a guttural scream. 

Life can pull us in so many directions and even leave us feeling that it doesn’t really matter what we are accomplishing off our to do list. That is when we need to belt out sounds from our guts and then consider………who made this to do list anyway? Is our frustration and disappointment in not getting everything checked off because we just need to work harder? Or perhaps we have come up with a list that is not even possible to complete. More than likely things on our list are not even necessary. Who says the sheets need to be changed every week? Who decided kiddos needed to be in activities that fill every moment of everyday? Who says you are not a good friend if you would rather stomp your feet with a friend than sit calmly over a cup of coffee and pie? Consider that it is us who puts all the stress on ourselves. 

There will be time for coffee with your friend. But right now, throw a fit and get it out of your system. Then take a deep breath and sit down with an eraser to edit your list. What can you take off your plate that you put on that didn’t need to be there. This is the time for prayerfully considering what God has in mind for you and your time. Breathe. And be sure to order the pie. Screaming at the top of your lungs uses a lot of calories. For sure you need to replenish. 

In Him,

Joyful
