So today I decided not to be guilty about just having a moderate amount to do and just enjoy my day.
I remember when my husband asked me not to work, I was extremely skeptical. I was worried we wouldn't survive on one income and that Id simply become bored with the extra time.
Not only did we survive, I learned to love being a homemaker in the process.
Now occasionally I get verbal jabs for this, including from my family, who don't seem to understand.
I used to feel guilty that I wasn't super busy and stressed out. As if those things are goods in themselves.
But my husband and I are happy and we plan to stay this way, Lord willing. Im sure Ill have busier seasons in the future but there's no reason to take on more for the sake of being busy or be more 'modern'.
But today was really good. I found a gorgeous dress at a consignment shop, learned a lot about health and nutrition, and drank plenty of hot chamomile tea. The chores are mostly done and hubby is on the road so I have the place to myself.
Instead of me feeling guilty for not having a career, Im choosing to be grateful for all the things Im learning as a homemaker, my volunteer work, and being able to relax and go at my own pace.
