FYI... Recently I read an article about how negatively social media can sometimes affect us. When others post such great stories and pictures about how wonderful and perfect their lives are, its easy to get an unreal perspective of how others are living and begin to feel like our own lives are such a mess. I absolutely dont want to contribute to that. I post the highlights because those are the moments I want to hold onto- I hope that i can give myself enough grace to let go of and move on from all the other moments. In keeping it real, my life is messy. All too often, we scream and shout at each other. All too often, I spend my days flustered, wondering how I am ever going to accomplish everything I set out too and close the day, feeling again inadequate and incompetent. Even in the time Ive taken to write this message: Ive attended to 1 blood curdling, screaming child/ sibling attack; given about 6 nagging reminders to brush teeth and begin their work; and squandered about 20 minutes of time i really should be trying to accomplish the load ahead of me- I tend to sometimes hide in FB when I feel intimidated by the world. But, anyway, Im trying to let go of some of that and give myself a little slack. I have to find moments that put a smile on our faces, remind myself how much i love this crazy family and give us a chance to just live a little in the midst of trying to Be all you can be.
