Along the way in this journey I've learned to look for life lessons in the things that I used to call "problems".
The relationships that weren't working.
The drama that went with those relationships that weren't working.
The me that wasn't working. :)
The life that just in general
SUCKED
many many days.
And along the way some of those life lessons have been sort of difficult as I navigated the waters from seeing myself as a perpetual victim to survivor and finally the path where I decided surviving
was no longer
enough.
One of those lessons?
The one where I realized that as an adult....
my life
was my responsibility.
And that if I didn't like it?
Well...
It was my responsibility to do something about it.
It was up to me to make it be...
(ha! poet and didn't know it!)
Humphh..
See - the "grown up" me says...
you can't be silly like that.
The kid in me starts shaking in my boots.
The trick?
Was to find balance...
That place where I knew beyond knowing that I was ok
just as I am
and
that it was perfectly ok
to get silly wit it
once in awhile:)
and even drop by Toys R Us, go sledding, skating...
walk in the grass
stare at the moon
and just be
and
be
ok.
Forever me, forever you - always perfect:)
Rock it this week, K?

I remember having this epiphany as well. Such a good thing! And each year I buy myself new sidewalk chalk and coloring books, head held high.

Hi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI think one of the most important things my grandchildren have taught me is the importance of being silly. Life is just too heavy and seious a lot of the time. Laughter restores the resiliance we have as children.

Agreed Pam! Laughter, tears...even expressing anger...are all the natural healing process where we find our strength from within ... Children are our best teachers:)
