How a Kitchen Faucet Taught Me that Loving Myself was More Powerful than Loving My Son – Episode 2:7

Devon is living at home for awhile.

He does not enjoy the automatic faucet in the kitchen.

I got it for my birthday and I love it.

So the frustration of him messing it up (by turning it off and on with the handle) has been a challenge.

I thought I needed to love him more, but as I used it as an opportunity to love myself more, then everything shifted.  

I want to be his mom and get him situated and in a better place.  He needs a mom right now and that is why we brought him home.

Great reminder to love myself.

I am grateful that I am the kind of mom who will make this sacrifice for my son.

It is awesome that I can do that.  I am so proud of me.  I make sacrifices for my kids.

I love this boy and I want to be his mom, even when he messes up my faucet.

I am going to be inconvenienced sometimes with him living here, but I am all in.

Loving me is the gift of this whole situation.

Good job me!

It wasn’t about making a new thought about him, it was about making a new thought about me.

Loving myself more really can help me love him more too!
