Looking for the positive in everything. It has been a while since I thought of something as a burden. I love the thought of it as being my natural grace.

However, I am grateful for most of them and do not consider them to be burdens.

I am now thinking of my kids. I love them dearly, they are truly a blessing, and I am grateful for them every minute of the day. Yet, sometimes, after the 50th "Mommy!" I do feel obligated and burdened. It takes awareness and consciousness to remember all the things I've learned:<BR/>Maryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959578939743207087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281004259485633226.post-28902016095354010642009-01-04T20:45:00.000-06:002009-01-04T20:45:00.000-06:00Okay, Flo, take it one step further.

While I had released the deeper fears around not doing it, I still felt like I "should" be doing more. Recently I had a beautiful lesson, I discovered that my not doing my practice was a reflection of not loving myself enough. Wow! That was such an awakening for me.
