makes the other more stuck.

say, “it’s too messed up.

Thanks Jody! 💛

Love the poem about worry. I've been a worrier all my life. It's been interesting having an adopted child who's suffered deep trauma and has severe anxiety. Because I have anxiety it's been a bonding trait. LOL It's something we can work on together and it makes her feel that she's not alone. It also strengthens my faith in God because I feel that he put us together for a reason.

Love love love, my friend.

When I was pregnant with our third, I resolved to say yes to every offer to help. It was humbling. But I'm so glad I did ♥️

When I came back to comment I had somehow attached the ending of the second poem to the first one in my mind. I love how the themes are really the same thing from different angles. I hate giving up control, too.
