"I Am Woman"

I remember when one of my kids would proudly announce that they had done this or that,
“all by myself.” There was always a big smile and such a look of accomplishment on their little face. They had worked at something until it was mastered and they didn’t need help with it anymore.
Being married almost 30 years and having a grown son in the house make it easy many times to ask one of the guys to do this task or that for me because it’s simple for them. I will be the first to say that sometimes I do need help with the heavy lifting or the occasional technical/mechanical task, but I am learning that I CAN do whatever I need to do, usually all on my own. For example, today I was trying to install my Flickr page into this blog…(which you should check out BTW). I worked at it for hours, tried this or that, asked Nick for help, then after he gave up, I tried something else and it worked. Also this past month, I did some internet research and installed a windshield and saddlebags on my motorcycle. It felt so good to figure it out “all by myself.” If you could only see the big smile and look of accomplishment on MY face.

Try something new….. challenge yourself….YOU CAN DO IT!!
