^^Spiritual Lessons From Mom^^

This was our challenge at ScrapFaith.blogspot.com. My Spiritual Lesson comes from my Mother's life & her suicide in 1984.
One of the greatest spiritual lessons I learned from my Mother was not to obsess about anything. She obsessed about everything: the color of paint for the walls, every single purchase she made and whether she should keep it or not, the issues at her office, her perfectionism as a professor, her friend's issues and especially the poor choices she made in her life and her marriage. Eventually, her inability to stop obsessing and her indecisiveness to improve her situation led to her demise.

The lesson I learned, while sometimes too impulsive, was not to obsess about anything. To keep a totally blank mind. Because of the volume of issues that occur in each of my days, I spend zero time considering almost everything. I move the furniture in the house constantly and repaint the walls of any given room on a whim. I buy clothes I may or may not wear and leave my job concerns at work and understand that my friends need to help themselves too. I focus all of my energy on my husband and our marriage knowing that the grass is greener where you water it and I would never (ever) end my life selfishly and leave a hole in the hearts of my children that no one will ever fill.
TFL, Laura
