I had a fairly good Christmas this year. I went to visit my mom. I think I still have some lingering resentment toward my mom from when I was younger. I guess it's because of her personality. She likes to tell me what to do as if I am still a child. It bothers me! She also has some health problems and isn't able to do some things for herself. I wish that I didn't have to do things for her. I try to be helpful to my mom, but inside I'm grumbly. My mom telling me what to do may be part of the reason why I doubt myself and feel as if what I do is not good enough. It's part of life that parents like to tell children what to do and are more needy as they get older. I can't change them, but I can choose how to react to those things I guess. I also feel a bit guilty that I react the way that I do. Sometimes I think I can't change. It's a frustrating cycle. God help me.

Thanks much for the linkback, and comment on my post. Actually, the picture of the cherry trees were taken in Cape Town, South Africa, and unfortunately, I can't find where I originally got the picture so I can't really give credit where credit is due.
But still, San Luis Obispo has been unseasonably cold. Hope you get warmer up there in Wisconsin!
