Lucky to be overwhelmed

Posted on January 23, 2010

I am overwhelmed right now, so much that so that I feel I can’t even breathe at times. We sold our home, bought another and will be moving within the next month and a half. I am terrified we have gotten in over our heads, but I know we’ll find a way to make it work. During the time of packing and finalizing the move details in addition to my regular full-time job I will be teaching a six-week class at a local university. Wait it gets better, our family will be growing in the fall – hopefully. Yes, I found out a few weeks ago I was expecting. It has been a bit bumpy, but I am hopeful all works out okay with the pregnancy. So within the midst of all of these crazy life changes and ongoing life I am trying to rest, remain calm and most of all be thankful. How could I not be thankful, I have a home, two jobs when many can’t even find one and a growing family. Of course I am terribly emotional these days, but as I see the horrifying images of the families and children in Haiti I get choked up everytime…even as I am writing this. I can’t imagine the circumstances they are having to deal with and when I think that I feel overwhelmed, I remind myself that I am not overwhelmed, I am pretty damn lucky.
