Letting Go

by Lucy

I wish I knew how much better I'd feel by giving up being a control freak who always needed perfection. When I was raising my kids I can't tell you how many hours I spent nagging and complaining when things didn't go as I envisioned.

Today with my grandchildren I see things so much clearer. I enjoy every minute with them instead of being more concerned about their messy rooms, dirty hands or a few crumbs on the floor. They're happier and I can't tell you how much happier and freer I feel.
