Day 27 of 30 days of Gratitude

Day 27 of 30 days of Gratitude: today I give gratitude to my first born child: a girl. She had to be sent here to make me a better person. There is no one else that knows me so well. That is why she can work me so well. I am constantly struggling with trying to control her. Raising a strong willed child with compassion is no easy feat. I often question why I am not just whipping her ass. Then I remember what it was like to be a thoughtful and intelligent six year old with out much life experience. I both dread and look forward to what the future will bring. Raising girls into women is complicated.
