This morning, I had a hard time getting out of bed.
I had a hard time thinking about leaving the house.
I cried. Again.
Because I want to fix things.
And I want to fix things because I am a mom. And a fixer.
My advisor has hugged me, made me laugh a little and given me a figurative kick in the ass.
So, it's time to fill in the blank.
Here is my focus today:
I cannot fix the world, but I can_______________________.
I cannot fix the world, but I can see good in the world.
I cannot fix the world, but I can try to understand the pain of others.
I cannot fix the world, but I can care deeply.
I cannot fix the world, but I can work to change my little corner of it.
I cannot fix the world, but I can try.
I cannot fix the world, but I can keep fear from overcoming me.
I cannot fix the world, but I can be present.
I cannot fix the world, but I can love.
Your turn. Go.
I'm going out now. To work, to be with friends, to try to do some fixing.
Peace.
Thank-you Georgie! Your words are a blessing:)
