Need to know

I need to do a better job of investing in those who contribute to my life, rather than wasting precious energy on those who do not. Someone tried to teach me that years ago and I didn't quite grasp or understand it.

I'm trying harder now.

I've gotten off track time & time again, falling victim to other people's influence or desires...and I take responsibility for my part in that. But part of taking responsibility is changing things you don't like.

Lots of chapters are ending for me, some I am sad about, others I am beyond excited for.

This is all still just a bunch of mumbo jumbo~and thats OK. I don't know about a whole lot right now, but I am holding on tight to what I do know.

My kids are my north star. They keep me true to my course and I would do ANYTHING for them. God help anyone who tries to get in my way.

I love myself & who I am~I'm proud of where I have been and I am proud of where I am going.

I love my husband. He is a good man who is giving his best effort to our family. He jumped aboard and grabbed the wheel, wanting to lead and provide for us when others had jumped ship. I do not acknowledge the enormous and generous act of love this is often enough.

My children~I tell them to listen to me and I mean it. I need to do a better job of listening to them.  I could learn so much simply by watching them...their actions speak volumes about and to me.

Children are our direct link to God...They are modern day miracles and I am convinced they have magic powers. I need to take time every day to sit in awe of their pure awesomeness.

I need to breathe. Not every second of every day of my entire life has to be about checking something off a list. Sometimes all I need to do in a day is breathe...hug a baby...smile at a stranger...or tell a friend how important they have been in my life.

This is what I need to know...and when I need to know more I will. Until then...this is enough.
