Hard drive to easy destruction…sounds like a movie title doesn’t it. It is a movie title. It’s the title of what many of us do on a daily basis, no, moment to moment basis in the movie that is our life that leads to us crashing in exhaustion as a parent!

IF we get some rest over the weekend that feels SORT of like rest by Sunday night, it’s over by Monday morning! The ‘hard drive’ is the chunk of concrete in our brain that will not let us truly relax. This constant ‘pressing’ on our soul, mind and spirit is draining and causes us to crash into impatience.

Easy destruction to ourselves is the result: prematurely aging body and nerves, decreased vitality and delayed or unrealized dreams. We owe it to ourselves to remember that as we strive to have the entire child nurtured and educated, that includes the child within us that did not get their full serving of same. Our creativity is to blossom right along side of the little human we are raising. Let’s not neglect ourselves now that we know ‘better’.

GET A HANDLE ON IT and reverse the tide. Crash into patience and stress relief! Practice letting go! I was told once by village elders, in the raising of my Son, to choose my battles. There is no need to get undone by every little thing or even most things. Many times it’s not life threatening and you can let it go…RELAXxxx…
