Just a few thoughts while the kids are bathing. . .

I think in my life I have always tried to make sure I didn't hurt anyones feelings and that If I did I tried to "fix" the problem to the best of my ability. I have learned though in recent weeks that if I did hurt someone I should indeed apologize to them but any effort after that if not received well it is all in vain. I think my in born spirit says to help and fix others in reality that is isn't humanly possible (and causes much stress and anxiety).

I also see some other things much differently than I did in the past and I think if you think someone (or some group) is wronging you in some way maybe you ought to turn around and see how you are treating them. In some cases I am sure there are just mean spirited people who mean bad for others but in most cases I do not think that is true.

I think if you feel left out maybe you haven't tried hard enough to "fit" in or maybe you do fit in and it is only your own insecurities that are leaving you feeling the way you do. I have sure felt left out many times and I am sure I have many more of those feelings to come b/c after all I am a woman of emotion and feeling. I think it would be best for me to try to remember what really matters in those situations and pray for God to take those feelings away. After all maybe it is just our Father in heaven trying to get our earthly attention.

I am so thankful for my group of friends and family and thankfully I have no problem sharing them with all the other people who need (or want) them in their lives. I have truly been blessed by the 3 ladies that I can truly count on to be there for me and I know they were surely put there by God!!

Okay well my kids are in the bath and I am sitting here typing (and watching-sitting right next to them in the bathroom of course) so I better get my kiddos heads washed and bathed all shiny and clean.
