An X-tra Ordinary Life

Whenever I blog using the A to Z Challenge, the letter x is always a challenge. It seems that now, thinking about how to create an extraordinary life is most appropriate.

I have been set to re-evaluate life again...what is important, what I can let go. I remember when Javad was little and I realized who were the people in my life that I could really count on, the ones that remind me of the important things.

It is easy to get lost in my life, so busy that I can't see. Being busy makes it easy to forget the chaos that I feel inside. That might seem counterproductive, being busy to quell the chaos, but keeping busy drowns out the noise that's in my head.

Sometimes I feel like there is so much going on that my head might explode...then I would be left headless and, I guess not accomplishing much...LOL...

At times like this, I need to mentally step back and remember that I have so much...my son is alive and improving, my older children are pretty awesome people, a job I really like, students that I feel I can/am making a difference with. I should have nothing to worry about...each day on it's own, one step at a time. This is the time of creation...creating healing, creating peace, creating hope, creating an extraordinary life...one day at a time.
