Just when I think my life is coming along and maybe getting to the point where I am feeling good about what is going on, life throws me a curveball. I was going to use another phrase that has profanity in it, and it's not that I don't mind a good curse; I just changed my mind. But click on the link to see the urban dictionary definitions of that other. It made me smile, maybe even chuckle.
It is not a story that I can tell at this time, or maybe ever. It is not mine to tell, yet it has affected me deeply. If I don't write anything funny or witty or anything even for a little while, this is why.
I will keep plugging along and do what I need to do. Now, maybe more than ever, that means taking care of myself first so that I can take care of the others in my life.
On another totally different note, a blog I follow, Momastery, had a recent back-to-school post. As a teacher and a mother, I loved this post and this letter. I totally plan on using it myself, both appropriately abbreviated now for my preschooler, and as is, with name changes, as Lilly gets older. It is about compassion. Please read it. Use it with your children. Use it as a reminder to yourself.
Mother Teresa said, “If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that We Belong to Each Other.”
