“Don’t let your food get cold
watching someone else’s plate.”
Our lives and our time
is far too precious
to waste on comparing ourselves to others.
Why are we looking at someone else’s life,
wishing and wanting,
when we have a life of our own?
Our own lives!
Every single one of us
has our own journey in life,
with all of its
opportunities,
challenges
and experiences.
Why are we looking
at the ‘food’ on someone else’s plate
when our own plate is so full itself?
Find joy in your own ‘plate’.
And like we always try to eat food we enjoy,
do and have things in your own life
that you want and enjoy.
The potential we personally have
"is endless"
if we would only ‘tap’ into it.
If we constantly look at others' lives,
we will miss out on so much in our lives.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Chronic Ache in the Soul of a Single Parent
There is a chronic ache in the soul of a single parent. It lingers, feeling endless. This ache feels so difficult, especially when you look at other families. They seem so… whole. They seem so joyful and complete. There is a husband and a wife and children in a stroller. Thinking about your single state, you realize how awkward you feel, how out of place at various functions and gatherings. They are all happily together and you’re miserably alone. Disappointment with the current life circumstances just settles in to stay, or so it feels. How could these layers of disappointment be broken up anyhow?
