I am grateful to the Almighty because I have finally learned how to love myself fully.
When things come up, as they do in a family, before I make any suggestion, my first thought is, "how will this affect me?" Most times, these decisions don't affect me. In these cases, I have learned the value of stillness and I await a decision.
A case in point is the text that I received from the older one this morning. Mothers Day has been set up by me at 6PM in a restaurant where they live. There was no reason to repeat the mistakes of last year. The gift is a donation to your favorite charity. There is no reason for a repeat performance of last year's hurtful gift.
Anyway, her boyfriend, although invited couldn't come. This is as I suspected since he didn't come last year. The excuse was different. Last year, it was his birthday. This year it is his mother. However, he could come Father's Day.
I told him about this text and now it is up to him to decide what to do. This has really freed me up because I no longer am in charge of everyone's decisions.
Life has become a vacation as I begin to learn how to love myself fully and I am thankful to the Almighty for this. I have learned that all decision making is not my responsibility. This has made me very light-hearted.
Tonight, I am giving myself a gift that will make my heart soar. I am going to RESTORATIVE YOGA. Yesterday, I gave myself a gift to also make my heart soar. I brought all my SPRING clothes back from the cleaners.
Spring and Summer are my favorite times of year.
Thanks to the Almighty, I have am learning to love myself fully and will enjoy these seasons because I have learned the value of stillness and the love I have for myself.
