How I did it
How to keep being a good mom even when I'd like to run & hide...
It took me
23 years
It made me
proud & happy

How I did it: With a lot of HELP from her dad, my hubby, my mom, other family members, friends, etc. and by always keeping my eye on the prize, which is ending up with a daughter who is capable, healthy, and happy...  Read how I did it…

How to stop whining & just do it...
It took me
2 years
It made me
Eh...

How I did it: I think a lot of the time, I was white-knuckling it, not whining on the outside, but still feeling overwhelmed on the inside.  It's important to be able to let the people close to me know that I'm feeling overtaxed. Read how I did it…

How to play piano again
It took me
2 years
It made me
Satisfied

How I did it: Because I didn't have time to practice everyday, progress was slow, but that's ok.  I only wanted to do this for fun.  Now I can play well enough to write my melodies & accent them with simple chords.   I think my days of playing Scott Jopin are behind me, but that's ok.  Read how I did it…

The skunk came back... 5 days ago

but hubby chased it away with a garden hose & then (this morning) cut down the tree that we think has been attracting it. He might be a city boy, but it made me proud to see that he isn’t afraid to chase off pests & use the chain saw.

Working in the yard... 5 days ago

I raked leaves for two hours yesterday & another two today. Sis helped me bag them up & we had a good time joking around. It was maybe the first time since mom died that I’ve seen her at peace. It made me happy. There’s something really satisfying about raking leaves. It’s hard work, but I like that I can SEE where all that effort went. Immediate gratification. lol

It’s been a long time since I felt like working in the yard. I had forgotten how much I love it. I feel so good right now…
