I had to send out a letter to a couple of my friends today and I thought I'd post it here too.

My dearest,sweetest friends,

I was/maybe still am having a little pity party for myself this morning inspired by doing enough cleaning and washing of children that I had no hot water left for myself and ended up taking a cold shower----invigorating at least. Followed by my disgust at how fat I have gotten and how, even though Eric and I had agreed that going to the Y and getting exercise was an important priority for me, any care for myself has fallen by the wayside.

Thankfully, no one in my family is wise to how selfish and whiney I am today.

As I was whining at taking care of my family first, I remembered that you, my friends are taking care of me. By lifting me up in prayer, encouraging and humorous conversation, and providing meals and babysitting services.

Thank you so much!

Love, Amy
P.S. Yes, I know, it's not you, it's the Lord- thanks for yielding to Him.
