So many songs, so little time.
My video of the day is:
This became my anthem a couple of years ago. I wasn't in a good place emotionally and didn't feel very strong. And while I still have those moments, I can usually reach down and pull out the strength I need to get through whatever it is I'm facing when I remember that I have three little girls (well, one is getting close to those teenage years, yikes!) that are watching me seeing how I react to things and behave in every situation I am faced with. And while I have plenty of faults, I want them to be proud if they end up being like their mom one day. I worry so much about them getting along in this world. I can only hope I'm doing all I need to do to help them get ready for the things they will face while at the same time I'm letting them hold on to their childhood and not grow up so much faster than what is necessary. I watch so many little girls who are little girls going on 25 and doing things, saying things, and dressing no where near their age. It breaks my heart. If you are 11 or 12 or 13, you should look and act 11, 12, and 13, whether you are at home, at school, or with friends. At the same time I want my girls to know what growing up is and what is happening to their minds and bodies. I would rather those conversations happened with me and with material I have provided than something they get from friends or at school or something. I know I don't really have to worry about school since we home school, but still.
