I admit, I'm a control freak and I'm sure that my fear of not being in control of my life leads me to not live the life that God has designed for me.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04679451366109029829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127204702177748392.post-6969411097216359062011-10-16T18:52:33.275-04:002011-10-16T18:52:33.275-04:00I am a planner and it totally stresses me out when...I am a planner and it totally stresses me out when things don't go the way I wanted them to go. But you are right! I need to appreciate the NOW instead of worrying about what can be or could have been! <br /><br />Hey if you need to have a little pity party, do it, dance your pity little butt off and get rid of that pity.

I tend to lean towards the "stressful pity party" theme myself, though try to steer away. <br /><br />It's amazing how we can talk ourselves as easily into the pity party or the positive - it just takes a focus to pick which one we want to lather ourselves in!<br /><br />Your "not the only woman who doesn't get pregnant the second she wants" stopped me in my tracks, since I forget sometimes that there are others like me out there. <br /><br />I wish you a happy day and thank you for this perspective reminder :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956724450988998624noreply@blogger.com
