My children have grown up ...

I'm spending Thanksgiving at my daughters in LA and have discovered life is very different as a mom of adult children.

Some things I'm learning;

No longer being 'in charge'.

Becoming an observer and not the decision-maker and planner of all things.

Viewing myself as just one person I'm responsible for instead of three (with that 'mommy' umbrella open).

Being present with extra 'brain-space' now that I'm retired.

Being less 'task-oriented' and more relationship-oriented.

Looking for any opportunity to show His love and share about my life with Him.

It's a new way relating ~ may God bless this time.  I am so thankful.
