Today was a really tough day for me. It seems like I can't get a moment of peace from worry. I worry about my husband, my finances, the kids seem to be more wound up (due to the last day of school, it's normal). My mind is going full speed and I just want to get off for a while. I try to keep busy and that doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions? I read the bible, pray, talked to friends,and played games with the kids. It is just not helping. I know I have to be strong for the kids. But I can't seem to shake this feeling.

Hang tight! If you're doing everything you're supposed to be doing, it will pass. And that's a promise!
(I'm sure glad my days of having the kids underfoot all summer long are OVER!!) Don't forget to set some time aside just for YOU; no distractions, no interruptions. Just you and some moments of peace and quiet... aside from the time you read the Bible and pray, by the way! That's time with God. You need time with just YOU! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Widdlebee}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}  <font color=blue>"Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt" --Shakespeare</font color=blue>

meditation always helps to clear or at least calm the mind... gives it a break from the overwhelming thinking we can get into .
Find a quiet place where you willnot be disturbed (put a sign on the door if you have to) add soothing music... sit or lie comfortably... and listen to the music... keep saying NO, or STOP to any thought that comes in while you are doing this... and take notice of your breathing. Usually breathing is on a count basis something like inhale to count of 4, hold to a count of 3-4 exhale to count and pause to a count before the next breath. Just the very basics... but it helps and only a few minutes at a time will help. <font color=blue> meditation is a true way to connect to the Source </font color=blue>

Giving yourself some time to yourself is good, no matter how you use it - meditation, taking a walk, yoga, reading, crafts you enjoy, ...
Counseling should help with this too. And just talking about it. It will get better. {{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}} <font color=orange>"Never forget: 2 + 2 = 5 for extremely large values of 2."</font color=orange>
