Gratitude Journal:
1. Doors & locks... so I can hide in my bathroom while adding a buffer between me & the pounding of my bedroom door.
2. Hot showers... so I can hide while buffering the pounding & yelling from outside my bedroom door.
3. Loud music... so I can remain hidden adding another layer of buffering from the weeping, whaling, & gnashing of teeth outside my bedroom door.
4. Hands... so I can cover my ears in the shower still listening to the loud music while trying to still buffer the noise coming from outside my door.
5. My printed blog...
So I will never forget these days & weeks. So I hopefully don't cast judgement on someone else during their times of struggles no one sees. So I can look back & remind myself of the way things get while raising 6 young kids. So I can be sympathetic to that mom that just isn't "doing her best" or how & what we THINK she should. So I can look back & see just how hard it really got sometimes. I never want to forget these years, moments, times or tears.
