Tenacity

Tenacity. It’s a quality in myself that I am most proud of. Whether it was finding resources for my kids when they struggled with learning disabilities, or helping a homeless girl with no birth certificate, I would not give up until I solved the problem. When my son was 4 and wanted Alexander from Alexander and the Horrible Terrible No Good Very Bad Day to come to his birthday party, I scoured the mall like a crazy lady to find a look alike. All of these situations I now see as Trauma response. NO MATTER WHAT YOU THROW AT ME (LITERALLY) I WILL NOT GIVE UP! Great for the people in my orbit but….. I now see the toll it takes. I’m learning bit by bit to give up the frenzy. It may only start with making brownies from a mix. xo
