Let Go and let God...

is a mouth full of words.

this has been my 'saving grace' lately.

it is so rewarding and freeing to know I am not in control
and I do not have to be.
Someone else has it all figured out...

so as I continue one day at a time I will
let go and let God.

Boundaries

I have had a hard time setting boundaries for myself.

I need to learn how to set a boundary
stick to it
love it
appreciate myself for it
and accept it

I can always change my mind
setting a boundary doesn't
= permantly forever.

Dear God...

help

me

to

see

myself

through

Your

eyes.

Relief

Relief for me comes

when I find the ability to let go of the need to control

when I can finally stop looking at others and wishing or wanting them to do exactly as I say or wish

when I decide that I am powerless over everyone except myself

when myself becomes a priority

when I can look in the mirror and love what I see

when I don't have to blame others for my imperfections

when I can accept that I am not perfect and I will make mistakes

when I can laugh along with others and at myself

Loss for words

I am at a loss for words right now

I have so much to say,

but I just don't know how to say it.

I also have very little time to even

find the time to say it...

if that makes sense!?!

skin or hair

after
taking a bath
and drying off,
my
daughter
says,
"Mommy,
when I
am big like you,
I will have
a hair "bottom"
not a
skin "bottom"!

Shaye is a 1st grader

This is the year Shaye "gets to" transition into

self-sufficiency.

It sometimes is difficult for her to decide if she wants to be independent or not.

When it is convenient and it means extra privileges, she is a big kid,

when it is inconvenient and it means doing chores, she is a little kid.

Shaye is a bright kid and I know she will have a great year.

I look forward to watching her grow!
