I think I am getting smaller too and for quite awhile didnt like it and couldnt understand what was happening but after reading your post the fog is slowly clearing..I need to use my energy in other areas in my life. Being able to deal with the Toxins in a more user friendly way has become a part of my life lately. Hugs to you :)<abbr><em>Vicki’s last blog post..<a href="http://tozzscorner.blogspot.com/2009/06/beautiful-milk-urn.html" rel="nofollow">A beautiful Milk Urn</a></abbr></em> I enjoyed reading your post and likened it to myself very much.

I was five or six years old. She reminded me often that she was shrinking as she grew older. Of course she was refering to her stature. At the time I didn't think much about her vigor, her energy, her verve diminishing....it's true, she was smaller, but more loveable in many ways. I have a picture of her in my mind's eye....standing in the kitchen, pocket book in hand, held with both hands, about waist high, waiting on your Mom to take her grocery shopping......she was small, but I never loved her more. I remember being held in her arm's after a seizure (I was 4 or 5); this is my first recall of God's love. She was large then and I was small. My Mom was simply the very best at what she did, and that was loving me unconditionally!Sorry, got carried away.........Your Mom was an unconditional lover, but more, maybe, some other time............He must increase, but I must decrease......Jn. 3:30. Luv this one~

As I read your post. I thought of my 90-year old dad who was just like your Grandma and mother. I, too, have that instinct to fight for justice. When I was first reading, I thought "yes, my daddy is smaller these days" and it made me sad. And then when I reached the completion of your post, I realized that daddy is just filled with much more wisdom and inner peace. He has more time to stay focused in prayer since that is all he has left to do. He no longer "reacts" to toxic people like he used to. I pray that I can mature into that person soon. I now long for that quality in your Grandma and my daddy after reading your post. And I've been enlightened in realizing that the more I pray for that, the sooner I will receive the grace of inner peace and "smallness". Awesome post! I will be sure to "follow" your blog.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and have to say that you really opened my eyes! I hadn't quite thought of this change as becoming smaller (as you put it)...but I do understand! As I get older, I know that I'm becoming smaller as well....am I much happier! I really hate discord too...and as I get older I have begun to realize that so much of what goes on...just isn't worth the fight! I haven't given in...I'm just at peace!!!Thank you for sharing this... Warmest wishes, Chari PS...was wondering if you found my note that I left you a few days ago about receiving my pretty plaque? I am loving it, my friend!

I know I've gotten to the point where I don't snap back when someone is rude to me, I just let it go. I try my very best to live a drama free life, and try not to let other people's drama from affecting me. It still does occassionally, but I do my best to curb it. The longer I work at it, the easier it gets. I just want a simple life, nothing glamourous or extravagant, just to live and let live. Good to know there are others out there with the same attitude.<abbr><em>Gina @ The Shabby Chic Cottage’s last blog post..<a href="http://theshabbychiccottage.blogspot.com/2009/05/daily-doses-of-change.html" rel="nofollow">Daily doses of change</a></abbr></em> What a wonderful message!
