No Easter Bonnet for Me.....

For years, I tried to "keep up with the Jones".  I have given it up.  I much prefer to be me and if 'you' don't like it, too bad.  For years I was afraid that 'you wouldn't like me'.  I have given that up.  Your opinion is not the measure I use to measure my success. 

I used to worry that my 'Easter Bonnet' was not as good as yours.  I worred that my clothes were not nice enough.  I worried that my kids would not be accepted by yours..... 

Not so any more.  I am too old for that.  My life is half over.  I can't do anything about the past, but I can effect the future.  I can be happy with what I am.  I will be happy and content with what I am.

My 'Easter Bonnet' is as good as yours.  I know it.

The forgiveness I have received for my past is the reason I am able to face my future. 

Thank you.  You know who you are.....
