This was a hard lesson to learn. I usually have a hard time accepting things as they are and often I try to do battle before I decide that it is time to give in and see what I can do with the situation.
The two cats moved in and my first thought, I can’t do this! I added more to that and it became the fuel that was needed to ignite it into an impossible situation. It only got better when I stepped back and took each problem as it came along. I find out now that I am fully capable of handling the two cats plus my own and they seem to be doing fine. We have a routine going and WE are happy or so it seems!
Then came the move. My son was moving away and I wore sackcloth and ashes for days on end. I told myself that I can’t go from being the “helicopter mom” to the empty nester! Guess what? It wasn’t up to me. The move took place last weekend and his things have been moved to his new place. I watched him go with tears in my eyes but that didn’t change anything. I had to deal with the aftermath. After a day or two of moping around, I decided that I am fully capable of handling this as well. We are into Day 5 after the move and I am seeing daylight again. I realize that I am learning to let go without holding on too tightly. Perhaps, that is the secret. I haven’t let go fully yet but I’m sure, it will come soon enough.
The lesson I’ve learned recently that shifted my perspective is that I am fully capable of handling problems and I am stronger than I think I am! Still hard, but I am on my way and that is the important part.
