I admire my Mom

I'd like to be more like my MOM. She remembers to send cards all kinds. Sorry no card this year! Just this blog dedicated to you for all the world to see. My mom makes the most of every day. Always motivated to persue her goals. Always makes goals. Oh that's where I learned to set goals. She has a creative and practical spirit. A flare for style in how she dresses(i don't think I inherited this), decorates and generally how she responds to her world around her. Her generosity abounds to strangers and family alike. Just ask someone who benefitted from a Rotary Club program - Or a daughter or two or three, maybe a sister or a brother too and grands and great grandchildren too. All of us through inherited genes or imparted values and experience continue to be blessed by my Mom. She lives her life with a passion I continue to strive for in my own life. When we are far apart she is still with me in all I do.(which sometimes is too much) She has a talent for having balance in her life.(I still need to work on that)My tribe in K town would Love to have her move closer because we Love her to be here. Most of all we Love her. Thanks for being who you are and wanting us to be all we were meant to be. May God continue to bless your life and in turn bless ours.
Your daughter A

Feeling less than adequate

A landmark event is about to occur in my life. I can't stop it from coming. I can't avoid it. I can't delay it. I can only accept it. I'm finding it hard to enjoy it or see the positives in letting it happen. I tried to play it down as not that monumental but it is and it will change things in my daily life. Oh have you figured out what it is? I'm not telling yet so, hope you figure it out. It has already caused some personal reflection and altered my perception of my life. Not in a good way! So, I need to stop letting it affect me in a bad way. I guess I'm having a poopy party - I know I'm tired. I feel inadequate in all parts of my life. I wonder why I can't hold myself together like others do. They work longer hours have little children. I'm at work 5 days a week and school and other stuff 4 days a week. My days run 8am to 10pm out. I keep asking God for strength and to hold me up. I really want to finish this course. I have a young adult (TanTan) watching.

The event comes and it will make its changes the little ones and the big ones. A little check mark in a box, a little wrinkle on your face and another candle on a cake what diference does one more year really make. Stop looking back, look forward. I already know what the past looks like. Yup! Yup! Time to end this poopy pity party and jump into the future. Celebrate and embrace what God has planned for me. I've laid down my life for God. I feel inadequate about that too. Good that God is more than adequate.
