It has slowly dawned on me (no pun intended, truly) that I no longer dread waking up in the morning. What a wonderful feeling!

When I told someone at Bible study that I've never really written extensive lesson plans he said, "But I thought last year you were always complaining on Sunday nights about all the work you had to do!" He's right, I did. But I think it wasn't so much lesson plans or work I was worried about finishing. Instead, it was the intense Sunday night mental preparation that needed to happen.

And by mental preparation I mean wallowing in dread, anxiety, and depression.

But not so, anymore!
