I can relate to raising sons to handle the harshness of the world. It is hard to see them struggle, but they are doing their best and we did ours to prepare them. Although I sometimes wonder about the youngest.
You hit the nail on the head about not dwelling on what one cannot change in this world. Yes, stay informed, but no need to dwell and stew on the things you cannot impact. I would rather focus internally on the things I can change and have an impact on.
Please continue being the wonderful soul you are @lizelle. You are a breath of fresh air in this world.
Awe thank you @coinjoe!
100% agreed, we don't have to let the things of the world get us down if we can have a positive impact on the world around us!
My sons are so different, absolute opposites, but both have an innate kindness. Whereas my oldest, who wrote this composition, can take the blows of an unkind word, my youngest is not as resilient. As parents we can only guide them, the rest is up to them, as long as they know that we are there for them at all times!
Have a wonderful Sunday @coinjoe <3
They sound very much like my two sons.
