Your post is a reminder to turn that same attitude inward (and to watch the movie, I just realised my youngest has never seen Pollyanna!).Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14647181404275808758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972951595926878159.post-45486012203784802402011-07-19T23:23:45.242-04:002011-07-19T23:23:45.242-04:00Excellent advice, so hard to remember "in the...Excellent advice, so hard to remember "in the moment."dshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616750784052488695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972951595926878159.post-71511644166223107642011-07-19T21:25:44.502-04:002011-07-19T21:25:44.502-04:00With my kids, sometimes I have to stick to my guns...With my kids, sometimes I have to stick to my guns, even though it is individually a trivial matter. It is amazing how small things can bite me in the ass six months later! But I am not a dweller. I sulk, vent, then move on.

We weren't really complaining as much as supporting each other through it all. But when we were wrapping it up, she mentioned that another girl we know is dealing with both of her parents dying at the same time. <br /><br />Yeah, somebody always has it worse.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.com
