[Momma's Kids]

Well, now that the hussle and bussle has calmed down we can breathe a lil. I sho nuff need a good long breath...yep, you know one of those deep down in the belly kind. Ya, just breathe in til ya backbone meets ya belly button and then ya blow it all out at once.

Those are the ones that ya suck in all yer troubles and holdem fer just a second so you get a handle on em...and then let em all out with the wind. Them troubles jest seem to float away like dandelions on the wind...twirling, swirlin and dancin up and down as they go. Just for a few minutes nothin matters except you and the fact you're alive. Everybody else seems to fade away for a few precious moments so you can start again.

We can't hit a delete button on our troubles, they follow us no matter where we might go. Troubles are like weeds in a garden, they ain't pretty but the good Lord put here fer a reason. I sometimes think that I been tested to the limit and then here comes one more thing. I don't think its written anywhere that life is easy, but we have a choice in whether we make it a good one or not. The richest of men worry bout their money, the poor worry about not having it. Which do you think is easiest?

We're ridden with troubles from the day we born. We can't take care of ourselves, we have wet stinky pants on...troubles. We have troubles as we get older, what will that cutie on row two think of me...troubles. We get out in the world, wondering what job we have...trouble. How much money we gonna need...troubles. The family comes along...and more troubles...are we good parents? Will they be good adults, or mean, nasty and surly...troubles.

Troubles is all around us, but we can pick and choose which ones to worry over. Is it worth worrying bout things we can't change, ain't gonna make any difference on the outcome of it. Pick and choose...worry when its worth, don't when it ain't...simple...or not worry at all about things let someone else worry for you.

Speakin bout troubles...anybody seen that JMiller? I know that boy is up to something...yep, talking bout troubles...get a bunch of kids in one place...yep...troubles galore.

Remember who luvs ya and hugs are given freely anytime...now go play and have a wonderful day...blow those troubles away, like dandelions.
