This sounded really interesting.  I hope it will help some of you out there who have missionaries in the field, including grandmas and grandpas! 8 Weekly Questions to Help You Stay Connected to Your Missionary Missionary Blogs Missionary Moms Missionary Parents Feb 6, 2015 0  37 Do you ever feel like there is a disconnect between you and your missionary?

This is a link to a very interesting article, which appears below.   Many years ago I had adrenal fatigue, when I had 6 children still at home (3 were married or in college.)  It took me 6 weeks, having a nap in the morning, and afternoon, and many hours at night to begin to feel like I could face life.  I had too many irons in the fire, and didn't know how to say "no" to someone, when asked to do something else.  It was quite a learning experience in my life.  I tell more about it in blog # 4, posted on November 16, 2013 just 2 days after I started this blog.   I'm including the link, as in the article it directs you to other links you may be interested in.

But whether you're a Who or a Jiggle Micpuff, his words mean much more than the regular stuff. They help us to see worlds out way far into space, and remind us of principles from a heavenly place. So, we hope you enjoy and we hope you will grow from that famous Dr. Seuss who says so much more than you know.
