I'm on overload

I have a tendancy to take on to much and eventually it catches up to me. Then I go into meltdown mode. I completely lost it this weekend! When am I going to learn that I am not wonder woman. I spent all day yesterday beating my self up -10 for me.(no negative self talk). My husband got put in the bishopric a few months ago and I am the young woman president. I have been anticipating a release. The bishop called me in yesterday and I am being released next sunday. I knew it was coming ,but as strange as it sounds. It's like a death in my life. I am in total mourning. Even though I know it's time and it's right. I can't even describe the sense of loss I feel. I'm sure it will relieve some stress. Which I need badly. So I just need to cry it out and move on. It's time's like these I wish I were a man. Emotions stink!

Men have emotions too, they just have a more subtle way of expressing them. Like punching trucks. Kristin, you were an inspired YW president. It IS a mourning. Feel it, so you can have the entire experience. Sadly, it's part of the ride. The hard part, but part, neverthless. I love you, girl - your heart is such gold.

Funny thing, the YW President when I was the Bishop (15 years ago) was over to our house just a couple of days ago. We were laughing it up over the fun and special times we had. She left a lasting impression - which I am sure you did too. Hang on to those feelings and rejoice in the good you did to build up His kingdom. You'll soon be doing something else just as worthy. Just do as good a job in that calling too. Your negative self talk will soon be eliminated from your personality. Good on you!
