Hi Jillian. Let me lighten up your day, kids will always spoil amore. Even adult ones can give you your moments and mention amore to them and they make you feel like the dirtiest woman on earth.
Having said that, they are good teachers, they do have the ability to carry me beyond the ‘not so good’ every day appearances and show me what is beyond them. It is a pity though that we worry and let ourselves get into doom and gloom to miss out on the joy of life.
Every time when I worried and missed out on the fun of sunny days, afterwards I realized it was never necessary to worry that much. Even when the worst came to the worst I somehow lived through it and got beyond. What I afterwards did regret was having worry let me spoil my days. Worry never helped or did anything, it just made me lose something I did not have to lose.
It has been a hard and difficult lesson to learn but I am adamant to keep learning it and to stop losing beautiful days to worry.
And aren’t those special days with children treasures. Those I always remember best and so will they no doubt.
xox Wilma

Hello Karen and yes, you too can be a SEAPOD and hopefully, one day, we all will transform into beautiful SEAGODDESSES!

Hi Greta,

I can’t imagine that added economical stress of putting a child into college right now. I don’t know how anybody does it.

I wish that it were easier to go off with my children, one at a time. I don’t know how anybody manages to do that either!

Really? It gets even more difficult as the kids get older. SHIIIIITTTT!

Your singing my song, once again. Amidst the reality of a second child starting college, and the slower economy; I feel like every conversation my man and I have is prefaced, footnoted, highlighted, cautioned, or exclaimed with money. I’m on high alert all the time so we can meet these college goals and still make the house payment. Which is why it was so out of character for me to make a similar escape as yours, Hannah and I went to the mountain on a perfectly good working/school Wednesday. What I gained from that day with my girl; the car ride up, the lift rides, lunch on the tailgate, and the ride home left me so filled that I actually embraced work the next day. Go figure. Thanks for the affirmation and the closet suggestion. (You think it’s tough to find amore with young uns, just wait until they’re teenagers.)

Can I be a SEAPOD too?
Cause I surely do feel like a SEAPOD, but just like you said don’t give into the stress and anxiety.

Turn to those smiles that even on our down days look at us with such joy and acceptance.
