Lincoln came into the bathroom this morning while I was showering and proceeded to do his business. All of a sudden he pipes up with, "Well, I'm mostly a big boy, but sometimes I still put my underwear on backwards."
It made me think--I'm mostly a big girl, but I still...
...get annoyed at little things
...slam doors when I'm really mad
...can't stand sudden changes
...say things that I know I shouldn't
...get impatient with children acting their ages
...and the list goes on...
BUT--Lincoln won't put his underwear on backwards for his entire life...in fact, it's only rarely that he still does--and it doesn't bring him down that he slips up sometimes. There is hope for me, too! I'll just make the goal of being better today than I was yesterday, and take it one day at a time, remembering to look behind me and see how far I've come.

I don't believe you do any of those things you say you do sometimes....you are as near perfect as anyone else I know. Makes me happy to know you are human too though. Great thoughts.
