An impossible situation! Even when your children are grown and you have grown old, it surfaces because a mom feels she can never do enough, give enough, say enough, protect enough.<BR/><BR/>I'm feeling "it" right now because yesterday I wrote a wonderful response to this blog of yours and lost it in space somewhere - never to be read by you. My totally wise words - lost forever. Today I've no time to re-create with the passion of yesterday - no memory to recall the phrasing - more guilt... Do you see what has happened? I needlessly placed the guilt into this moment. Someone shake me.<BR/><BR/>My comment is simply... Each time you take a moment to work, to disipline, to relax, to be responsible, to enjoy life, you are giving your children the opportunity to learn to respect others time, to be creative, to be loving, kind, patient, resourceful, cooperative and so much more. All are wonderful qualities needed to be healthy in mind, spirit and body. You are giving your children a gift and just never knew it. No need for guilt here. You are a wonderful mom!
