anger management

The goal of anger management is to reduce both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. You can't get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage you, nor can you change them, but you can learn to control your reactions. Unfortunately, I must have been absent the day those genes were given out. I speak my mind. Most of the time it doesn't have the desired effect. So what's a girl to do? Call a few friends, have a few beers, and forgetabouit!!!!!

A Daughter Remembers

A Daughter Remembers

I listen for her still...a phone ringing can

send me winging back

into my memories of her,

and remembered laughter lights my day.

I look for her still...in familiar places

where the sense of her presence

lingers like a fragrance, and I feel

the warmth of her arms around me again.
Forever, I will be her daughter--

Trusting in her love,

Delighting in her praise--

These beautiful gifts from my mother

live inside my heart...

and I listen for her still

I always will.

*Verse from a card sent to me by my Aunt Patsy on my first Mothers Day without my mother. So appropriate, as usual.

Our mothers never leave us and our children are always with us. We are the daughters that our mothers raised!
After 40+ years of being a motherless daughter, I still find a beautiful comfort in smelling my mother's shiney little compact. That cheap powder never lost it's scent. And, for that, I am eternally thankful. Thank God she didn't buy the expensive stuff....
We are lucky girls!
Onward!
