Please Don't Feed the Mom

Helping you filter through all that you want to, but don't have time to so you can not feel guilty about it. You know that feeling you get when you hear there's something new on the scene that will benefit your child and without it they'll fail life miserably and end up just like you? Never fear - you're not the first Mom to need to go on a parenting "diet." Who has time to read all the experts or blogs? Certainly not me, so don't expect a post every day, but I'll try =)

Breathe, 1, 2, 3

This weekend was a challenging one for me personally. I'm at a crossroads in my life and that road is flooding with nervous and over-tired tears =)

I found this on Organizing Your Way .

Calm my Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow:

:: Never allow yourself to compain about anything — not even the weather.
:: Never picture yourself in any other circumstance or someplace else.
:: Never compare your lot with another’s.
:: Never allow yourself to wish this or that had been otherwise.
:: Never dwell on tomorrow — remember that tomorrow is God’s, not ours.

Those who know me best know that I'm not anywhere close to trusting anyone or being with my fate, but the words from this selection are a nice reminder of how I am still in control of the way I feel even if the circumstances causing those feelings are out of my control.
