When life gets heavy, distractions are helpful. I am blessed to spend the last days of my grandfather’s life to help care for him. Yet, balancing school, work, and this darn winter has been nothing short of a challenge. While I know these are all temporary they require my attention right now. Today, I was grateful for a distraction away from all pressures, even for just a few short hours.

Distractions are helpful as they pull our attention to something else and can help us maintain the stamina and mental energy to push through what we need to. It is comparable to a mental break……something we all need and should take (and not feel guilty about).

What distractions are you grateful for?
