Being loved

I am thinking back to before I got married and all the whirlwind of emotions and adventures leading up to that amazing life changing day...
I had four showers and it was so surreal being THE BRIDE at them this time.  Each one had a different flavor but all were so amazing.  My friends, family, and co-workers all gathered to celebrate with me!
I got to be the one being dressed in tissue paper, and trying to answer questions about my husband-to-be, and opening lots of fun gifts!
Then there was the bachelorette dance party where my friends helped me pick songs for the reception and gave me great marital advice.

I didn't know how to cut the guest list and I am glad I didn't have to, it was so wonderful and almost overwhelming to have people that have been there throughout my life there on my big day to share in my excitement.

The evening that Earl brought me 3 long stemmed roses and a card for my birthday and we talked in his car until late; I saw him catch a glimpse of how lovely I am and the way God sees me, I like to say that he saw my glow.

The day we were snuggling and I burst into tears; 

"I never knew this is how it felt to be treasured."

Earl just held me and said, "I am sorry you have never felt treasured."  

I melted.

Overwhelmed

How do I put my swirling thoughts into words?
I feel overwhelmed by so many people to see and care and pray for and so many things to do and just not enough time to spread me around!
How do you choose?
I could choose a life of solitude and only work on my health and my marriage and my random scattered project ideas....but I would feel isolated and lonely after a time and I would have burned all my bridges with people by kinda pushing them out for a season and then can't expect them to just jump right back in eagerly.
I could choose a life of helping and serving and loving and compassion and giving....but then I would get burnt out and exhausted and need me time and possibly wreck my marriage and health in the process.
Maybe I need God direction for this new season?

Words of wisdom

Words from a wise man:

Just thought of this motto:  Never put off to tomorrow, what you could have done yesterday. 

The thinking here is that here you are sitting, thinking about whether to start your plan today or tomorrow.  What you should be thinking is that you are in tomorrow and thinking about what you did yesterday, and how proud you are of yourself. 

Just a thought.
