Day 40: Good Nature

My husband Tom gets up at 4:45 am- showers, heads off to work a fourteen plus hour day. On his way home- he either attends an after school meeting, picks up a child from an activity- coaches one of our children's sports team, participates as a leader in a scout function, stops at a grocery store- or anything that may need to be done when I am running in a different direction. He does this all on less than four or five hours of sleep per night.

Yes. He does this with a smile on his face- a calm heart, and a gentle spirit. I, on the other hand, am the crabbiest crabola if I go more than three nights with less than seven hours of sleep. Trust me- me and sleep deprivation are not a pretty sight.

My husband's long days with little sleep but a happy heart is just a testament to his good nature. For this I am very blessed and grateful.
