Wow! What a wonderful post…as a mom of two very little ones, and a mom with a broken ankle, I am currently being tested on a monumental level in the practices of letting go…helplessness is a terribly eye opening experience

That is such great perspective. Something I'll need to come back to when I'm ready to address it myself!

They say admitting it, is the first sign of acceptance =)

I am a totally mellow, go with the flow, free spirit.Like being a control freak, it has it's joys and it's pitfalls.There has to be a happy medium, I always think, but I rarely meet anyone who fits it. Good for you for seeking it!

I used to be so calm and chill. Now I'm a freak on wheels about things. I need to start letting go and not "sweat the small stuff" like you put it. I know life will run smoother once I let go a bit.

Ha ha, good for you! I'm not a control freak, but I'm not as go with the flow as I wish I was was. One day maybe i'll try the Yes Man experiment.

I love this post! I, too, am a control freak and you are right; in the professional world it's great, it the mommy-world, it can be a nightmare. I have to step back a lot from situations and ask myself if I am being too controlling and the answer is usually yes. After 8 years I still haven't learned how to calm down. I'm trying!Glad you had a great Father's Day!
