Slogans The Slogans have played an important part in helping me maintain my sanity. I have four adult children and all are wonderful children. They have their own personalities and their own opinions about life. When I am in conversation with them I try to "keep an open mind." I "listen and learn" about how they view life. I have to remind myself to "live and let live." When I feel a button being pushed I have to ask myself "how important is it?" When I feel like giving my differing opinion, I have to remind myself to "keep an open mind" and "easy does it." I am entitled to my opinion and they are entitled to theirs. When I want to rush in and manipulate their lives I remind myself to "let go and let God" because His plan is always better than mine. When I pray to God to work in my life and my children's lives I have to let go of the results. God invariably comes up with remedies and solutions of which I would never have dreamed. Living "one day at a time" and trusting in my Higher Power restores my serenity. Anonymous; District 5; Area 35-NH |
