Pondering Life’s Wonders
Cats and teenagers, and teenagers are basically cats. basically the same thing. People who need a hug should find that one person who has perfected them so wonderful, it really does make a difference. Being a momma is challenging but worth it
Threatened
There are so many things that can feel like a threat to us. We allow our thoughts to threaten us and make us feel unworthy. The only attack that can change the threat is joy and love, and deciding to change our thoughts for the good.
That’s Not My Job
“That isn’t my job” can be such a horrible phrase unless you know that there is someone near that has the abilities and talents to do the job in the way it should be done. Then it just takes humility to step aside and let them do it. There is joy in it.
