Before becoming a parent and then a grandparent, I was wrapped up in myself. My thoughts, hopes, wishes, dreams, and pain of things going wrong. Every decision I made in those times was based on what would be best for Me. A terrible health diagnosis, or financial challenges would be solved by looking through the lens of My world only.
These days much has changed, as now I have many eyes on what I do and how I handle life’s adversities. Not only do I have to pay attention to my heart but my now grown children are watching how I handle a breakup, a car accident, passing of a parent, health challenges.
The greatest gift I can impart to my growing family is the grace and wisdom that is only learned from going through the fire and coming out the other side mostly unscathed emotionally.
The art of “letting go” the art of trusting Divine wisdom, faith in the unseen.
I am certainly not an “island” unto myself, but a mountain that will stand with them through their own hard times only taught by example not words.
