lost myself in the work

Another day of organizing the house, and I’ve completely lost myself in the work. I didn’t even realize I missed my journal yesterday, and now my mind is a complete blank regarding what happened. There has been some pleasing progress after these intense days of work, and I’m happy to see the space becoming tidier. But at the same time, I worry that I’m focusing too much on the tasks and missing what truly matters. I miss my daily meditation and having more moments of stillness for myself.

Oh Lord, no matter what I do, please be patient with me, just as You always are. I know You will, but I still feel the need to say it because part of me feels a little lost in these busy days. I hope You forgive my absent heart when I get too caught up in the work. I love You!
