Missing You

Some days, more than others, I beat myself up over things I have no control. Well, some of the things I do have control over—just not right now—and I beat myself up for it. I firmly believe in “Let Go and Let God,” and I do that. But, today was one of those days when something caught up with me and I let it get to me. And, of course on a day like that, I’d get an email about “Phenomenal Women,” in which category I do NOT feel a part of today. The “Images of A Mom” were part of the email message, and after reading it, all I wanted to do was cry. Stupid, sentimental, emotional, mushy. Why do I feel like this today!!?! Because my mother's birthday would have been this Sunday, January 11th. And, I miss my Mom.
