It seems to me that we need a healthy dose of attachment to outcomes; it directs our efforts. But if it just causes us to worry - that's something we can do without.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-23129124827749033732016-01-29T22:27:30.507-05:002016-01-29T22:27:30.507-05:00Regarding your question, I answered in the comment...Regarding your question, I answered in the comments section if you want to take a peek.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-59599900715381516222016-01-29T10:51:51.235-05:002016-01-29T10:51:51.235-05:00Wow.

Unfortunately no one around me agrees. <br />Could those children be any more beautiful?

Some outcomes seem better than others, but I have very little control so I just take whatever comes. <br /><br />It's liberating.

I think Jeffrey Tambor is incredible, but the whole show is a bit too too, if you know what I mean. It's exhausting.

I've been wildly successful and the last 4 years i barely made it. This year it's picking up again, so far. It's hard. The less I worry, the better it is but of course that's not easy. I must think about NATO. Luckily you have those kids to fill your heart and be proud of. They are so beautiful. I ask for what I need to live the life I am meant to live. And I try to remember that worry changes nothing at all.

Whenever you feel as if you aren't accomplishing all you could be, step back, take a breath, and realize that you and your husband have accomplished THIS and that is enough in and of itself. Not just their physical beings, but their work ethics, their education, their joy. <br />I don't know if I can be NATO. Is that different than not really giving a shit? Haha! Just kidding. <br />Love you, darling.
