Great images! And just what I needed - trying hard to ease up and let go on the Oldest... who got his license last week.
Wow, great post. This is one of my problems, letting go. Even when I don't have all that much to hang on to. I'm still a control freaky girl. I loved the way you organized this post. It was fun! Thanks Ally,
Love it, Ally! Great post. :)
I have come to realize that everyone is a control freak. I can think of one person ONE who isn't and I'm not even sure that's right since I only see her once every few years and exchange sporadic emails. The rest of us OMG.
I used to be a lot worse. But now I'm only a control freak when it comes to my career. I still manage to drive myself crazy in that regard.
But all the rest? I let go. And I don't miss not controlling every little thing.
I'm learning so hard to let go of my postpartum past...the thoughts, smells, feelings...all of it that makes me continuously feel like a victim...I want to let it go.
I loved the images. Man, do I need to re-read this one every now and then. :)
