Like Mother....

My mom is awesome. She’s vibrant and creative and a great story teller. She’s commanding and effervescent and has a great laugh. There are many things about my mom that I love – that I want to emulate. And truthfully, I did get many of the qualities about my mom that I adore. Problem is, I also got some of the qualities I run from like the plague. Like her ability to make anyone feel guilty about anything. Last night I made someone I care about feel guilty – when I didn’t even mean to!! I heard these words, “you’re just making me feel guilty about it”, and I thought I would fall over dead. My whole life, WHOLE LIFE, I have vowed to NEVER do that to another person EVER. And then I did, just as naturally as you please.
