Today things have not been going my way and I kept getting news after news. However I didn't panic or fall apart. I took some time to regulate and I did allow myself to feel what I was feeling. Prayed and I felt a comfort and peace. My normal response would have been to cancel everything and focus on what was going wrong. I chose to have intentional time with my family and it was great. I wish I would have embraced my emotions years ago I wouldn't have to go back to these hard places and deal with them now.
