following Lucy's lead. That's my intended goal this year. I want to watch and listen and tune into her needs, wants, likes and areas of interest. I'm trying to step back a little bit this year and allow HER desires to unfold without mine getting in the way. Partly that's hard because she is my daughter and I want to share with her things that I like. Which I do. But I must also be prepared for her to not like them too. Partly it's hard because sometimes we just think if I am interested in something, it'll just take time for her to be interested too. Not always the case.
And I am reminded of my mantra... She is she and I am me. She is she and I am me.
The she that is her is unfolding into her almost 12 year old self so beautifully and clearly and passionately too.
I am interested in this journey we are on. The good and the difficult too.

We can each have our likes and dislikes...but we can also share our wisdom in life.
ReplyDeleteI can relate...when we like something we want others to experience that joy we are feeling. That's a good thing.
