Control

Last night, Jackson came home for dinner.

When he got there, the parents were taking a nap.

Mama heard him come in and woke right up.

Mike needed a little more rest.

But, when Mike came out and while he was making dinner, Jackson started talking about things that are going on in his life.

Mike always has great advice, and amazing insight.

He gives such strong guidance to the kids... and to me!

After Jackson left last night, we stayed up and talked about it all and what our roles are as his parents right now in his life.

Colton was there, too.

And Izzy...

This picture was taken while Mike was still asleep.

Jackson and Colton were watching some strange movie that I didn't understand.

But, I had to snap a picture of my young man!

I read this quote this morning and LOVE it:

Control is an illusion.

Anger, regret, frustration for what's happened won't change the past.

Worry and anxiety for "what if" or "how long" won't change the future.

The only thing you can control is how you show up for yourself today.

Dave Hollis wrote this.

If there is one things we have zero control over in life - it's control.

We need to feel all of the feels, but knowing that they won't change what is happening in our lives.

Today, all we can actually do is show up for ourselves and be the best we can be today.

Hour by hour.
