And you've expressed it perfectly - pea vines trying to become dahlias. <BR/><BR/>Love your courage. Love your writing.

Sayi...I love how you wrote this and it is so true. Saying, "I'm good." can only get you so far for awhile, with all the stresses going on in your life right now. It takes it toll on you, and all the rushing to do this, that, be the perfect mom, wife, loose the weight, etc. sounds so familar. I love the lesson, it is not in the do-ing, as in the be-ing, please remember that everyday! Live in the present, see the perfection of each exerience then you are never hurried or delayed, you are always in the right place at the right time and all is well. Create your own security by trusting the process and flow of your life. Slow down, take care of yourself and get that to do list, that runs throughout your brain over and over our of your brain. I know easier said...I struggle with this all the time, but we can do it!!! Love you lots!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
