Be Sweet
I've been leaning pretty hard on my mantra these past few days. Repeating it to myself between clenched teeth, searching for my breath, trying to get back into the present where it's all good.
Even with a great plan in place, I still struggle. Example just today: All afternoon I worked to prepare a valentine cake, a pot of bolognese, homemade pasta, all as a labor of love for my three amazing valentines. But as I put the finishing touches on and scrambled to put it all on the table, I found myself short on patience, quick to judgement. Raining on my own parade that was meant to celebrate my lovelies.
All I want to be is sweet. Why is that so hard for me?
