I love my kids, wholeheartedly.
I go without many times, so that they can have.
I don't think I am an exception, we all do without for our kids.
They are such a wonderful experience until they get on my last nerve.
Yes, I said it. I feel it. I know.
I had an unfortunate series of events happen today. What should have been an hours drive turned into a 3hr drive.
Why? Because my adult child was driving, my vehicle, and did not listen to me.
He was so sure of himself to be bothered with my directions. We bickered and then I put the seat back and took a nap.
Yes, I did. In that moment, I realized I could of been the dolly lama and he still wouldn't listen.
So, I reclined and closed my eyes. He got us into this and he will get us out.
And he did.
I learned three things today:
1) The apple really doesn't fall far from the tree.
2) I do not need to speak to teach a lesson.
3) I was just like him at that age and still can be.
It is easy to want to take over when things do not go our way.
It was something that I needed to be reminded of.
Regardless, if it's our kids or something else, when we truly let it go and see what happens, it all works out as it should, if we:
Give it our all.
Check our own behavior and perspective.
Realize, that we can do nothing else.
Then, just let it go and let it be.
It always works out how it should.
Until Next Time,
~It is what it is~
