Sometimes something simply being the right thing to do is
not reason enough for me to not want to do it.
Ya dig?
Sometimes I want things that I am pretty aware are not the best for me. Sooo… sometimes I have to find other reasons to do the right thing. Most of the time those reasons are my kids. This one Good Choice that I have a particularly hard time making is most easily made when I think about my girls. And I’m not gonna lie, it is mostly Em that I think about when I am trying to make this particular Right Choice. Partly because she is older and closer to having to make this decision herself, but also because she possess a very sweet, naïve innocence and purity that to be quite honest, blows me away. I have no idea where she got it from, but I see it in her and I treasure it. I want her to understand that it is a gift. I want her to understand the importance of herself, her heart, her purity. I want her to hold it dear. I want her to guard it. I want to protect it in her. And I want her to be honored. I think these are probably things I am supposed to want for myself as well, and I’m working on figuring that out. But for now, This Beautiful Girl is all the Reason I need.
