This card is a reminder to me to not take other people’s burdens on. I’m really bad about taking burdens on that are not mine to bear. I’m especially bad at taking on my daughter’s burdens. That poor kid has so much to bear. I need to help, but I also need to let her blossom into the strong and independent person that she is.
Please dearest ones, hold her in your arms and help her. Help her to know she is always loved.

I need to let go and let other’s find their own way.

I am still really bad about taking on things that are not mine. Like the other day I was looking on job sites for jobs for my daughter. She is 26 years old, she is perfectly capable of looking for jobs herself. I also need to stop cleaning up after everyone even though in some ways it is easier to just do it than to complain to people. The problem is that when I do just break down and clean up after people, I end up being resentful and unhappy. I need to find a middle way that marries my own peace of mind with holding people accountable.
