In a conversation with my daughter her social insecurities came up. She’s had difficulties for some time with other little girls being catty and mean. Things are getting a little better since she has a new BFF, but in that conversation my response to her concerns and question was:
“You will reach a point in your life when all that matters is taking care of the ones you love and loving yourself. All of the distractions will disappear and you will be certain in that—certain of the love in your life.”
I have to hold to that sentiment each and every moment.
In this past week I have poured myself out to someone I love who I will always fight for. I have cut through some of the dross in my personal life. I have refined relationships, solidified them and erased others entirely. It feels right to me and that is all that matters. I’m not being harsh. My choices are sound. Believe me.
I saw Cindy tonight for about an hour and had a good visit. I’m going to hold off on making any predictions. Tomorrow will be whatever it is. She is making progress but the doctors will make the call. We walked a little in the hallways. It had to be empowering for her to get out of that room and feel freer.
Love and goodnight.
Yes indeed we have to love this life, however it is. Life has its badness and kindness. But sometimes we only could get our love in life through a badness of life. And we even could get kindness through badness first. So we will learn something priceful from suffering and sorrow.
It’s not a must for people who order the good deeds and prohibit the badness, except they have 3 characteristics, those are: graceful in ordering and prohibiting, understand on what to be prohibited, and fair for what to be prohibited. (Hadith by Addailami)
Great advice for your daughter.
Happy to hear your friend is better.
She is a little better but we found out she has more than one clot in *both* lungs…so much yet unknown. Thank you for hanging with me.
I’ll keep her on the prayer list.
