Life has a way of throwing things at you that you are not ready for. It's what makes us grow and adapt. Today has been one of those days where I am not feeling the best and struggling to deal with teh Boyoes with patience, if not humor.
That's when my elder son delivers a line that simply smacked me in the face.
"My traitor is my creator."
Now this is coming from a nine year old. He likes to write songs and this happened to be the latest title of one such. I am quite certain he did not intend it to mean as much as it does, but still... Left me blinking.
How often do I/we let the little, and the big, "traitors" in our lives create our mindset? Our mood? Our way of "being" in the world? Do not mistake me here; I am not saying that we ought to be without influences, but rather quit sabotaging ourselves.
All too often in my daily life, the "traitor" is me.
