Feeling Happy
Hearing The voice of my father inside my heart
Whether or not we evolve to become our parents, there will most likely be at least one time when we will be responsible for driving some young person STARK RAVING MAD!
While we are still not-yet-our-parents, we should take deep breaths, heavy sighs, count to ten, smile and have patience. Such little things will make you crazy about your elders....but such little things will make them happy.
What we must decide is how to make them happy while maintaining a semblance of serenity for ourselves.
Something my Mom has been after me to do...a little thing, and finally I got around to it. I may as well have done the greatest thing in the world, parted seas, arose from the dead, popped a pearl out of my mouth for her...she was that happy.
I remember how little it took to make my children happy when they were small. Now I am sandwiched between grown, but still needy, children, and my Mom who is growing more childlike, yet still very independent.
HEAVY SIGH..... A little grace is what is needed for a little patience.
That and a glass of wine.
I love you, Ma.
