I like that I'm a good mom. I look at my kids and I'm amazed that they're mine.

I remember when they were 3 and wishing time could stand still. I feel the same way now...teenagers are so cool, a little rough around the edges, but really, really nice people. I know it's only going to be another blink of the eye, and they'll be off flying in the world (although my daughter STILL insists that she's never leaving...who knows, maybe just to spite me, she won't ;)

When I adopted my son I wanted him to remain with me but we have to let then go to explore the world. It was good healing for me. I am feeling the same way that my bio son will not leave the best even though he try's to mimic his brother. Let's hope he continues to mimic his brother.

How old are your boys?

The Phoenix Rising is my personal favorite recovery image, too. I love that I have risen from the fires of my traumas and am learning how to love.

I like that I come here, rain or shine, every day. That leads to my acceptance that I may not be at my best, but I can present myself to others anyway, whatever shape I may be in that day. That self-acceptance, in turn, puts me on the path to loving myself a little better day by day.

Patti. My adopted oldest son just turned 21 and is in college. My bio son is only 5 and soon going on 6.

This is something that I always struggle with.... I tend to stay away from these posts due to not thinking there is much that I love at all.... So I'm going to try it though I love that I love animals
I love that I do my best to be a friend on DS

Nothing.

Wish I knew how to answer this... I don't.

How resilient and brave and clever I am. Sometimes lol.

I love that I found humor again, I love that I'm a little lighter these days, I love that I'm a mom, I love that I am God's daughter
