I am struggling w/ being patient & compassionate. I just want it to happen now--whatever it is! I am having a pretty good day today. I need a nap, though. I have been struggling w/ yesterday's reading in Hope for Today. It was talking about having compassion for others. My mom is my toughest one. That is, she is hardest to show compassion sometimes. I just want to scream sometimes. She is definitely moving away & I don't know when. Some days I just want her to go away! I know I will miss her. But, right now I wish she would enjoy the time she still has here w/o mentioning moving away every day. I just want to live one day at a time w/ her until she goes! Is that too much to ask?
That's all for now! Mom is waiting for me! Isn't that something?
I too am struggling having patience with my mother. Right now she is toxic for me. Today I expressed "kindly" how I feel and about the boundaries I have with her. I was worried about hurting her feelings. But I had to get it off my chest and I did it as nice as I can. I think she understood.
