Come Rest

I know I'm not the only person to feel like they have to be everywhere all the time and get everything right the first time.  Can I get an Amen?  Well, today, I did my usual listening of talk radio and the gloom and doom that is to come.  I felt myself getting overwhelmed in trying to fix some problems. So I started to listen to my music.  Next thing I knew I was in a puddle of tears.  So I went to the restroom to wipe my tears and fix my Rudolph nose, to no avail.  It got me thinking of what I tell my son, Colin, when he gets overwhelmed.  I say "Breathe....Calm Down....Shhhh".   I have said this so many times to him, that he will now look at me, when feeling overwhelmed, crying hysterically, and say "I need to breathe".  I'm the only one who knows what he means.  It's how we communicate our sadness, and then take the steps to help one another.   Well, today, I need to breathe, and calm down.  I searched for this particular song including short message; and it was exactly what I needed to hear.
It's called Come Rest by Lindsey McCaul
