Anxiety and Prayers

I've always loved fall. The crisper seemingly cleaner air. The warm soups on the stove and bread cooling in the rack. Pumpkins, apples and hot tea.

This fall has just begun and I'm hoping this settle into some type of peaceful routine. The middle four kids are in a charter school program. This transition has been very hard on Hezekiah. His level of frustration and fight or flight have been through the roof. Autism isn't always easy nor is it always hard. This transition has given me serious anxiety. Some days I just want to sleep or watch Netflix. I don't, I get up and show up. I work my way through it with determination and prayer. 

I say a lot of prayers. My Catholic prayers come I handy when I feel like I'm sinking or loosing my footing. They come in handy when life feels right, too. They come in handy when praying for others.
