Is there an expiration date on peace and contentment? I find myself being restless and agitated more frequently lately and I’m struggling to figure out the source. Which piece of falling straw will be the one that breaks me?

I know that part of it is the busyness of the season. Back to school time ushers in the beginning of all sorts of programs and groups that tie their schedules to the school’s. It’s not unusual for the social lives of my children to eclipse my own, that, I am used to. To be quite honest, we don’t have much spare time in our calendars, so why is it I’m still looking for something else to do? Something to fill a void to take up a space that has been missing.

It’s frustrating because I can’t put my finger on it. Can’t find it on a list somewhere or in a drawer. Whatever “it” is. And in hindsight maybe this is good, for now, since I can’t imagine when/where/how I’d be able to deal with one more piece of straw.
