Just keep it moving and trust your gut.


Someone said this to me the other day.

My son's father contacted me and wanted to see his son after 18months of nothing.... His reason? "It took me that long to clean up my act and my life together." It through me for a loop... for about 10 minutes. I'm getting really good at - dealing with my codependency issues - after knowing him for eight years... afterall he's been trying to get his "act together" for six of those eight years... I know better than to believe his words. His actions will speak volumes. And an email and a story about how things are going to be and how much he loves me and his son is NOT an action.

I know that I don't have to jump when he says jump. In fact, what I need to do is exactly the opposite. I need to step back, not make rash decisions and stay the course... stay in the present 24 hours and NO projecting or trying to figure out the future. The truth always reveals itself in time. As long as I keep making WISE choices for me (and my son in the process), everything will work out just fine.

Just keep it moving and trust your gut.
