When things jump out and smack me in the face, I remember that my life is not about me. It’s not about just what makes *me* happy or what *I* want or supposedly deserve. It’s about my responsibility to this little girl. (And her sister, too, but the truth is that this little girl comprehends and absorbs more of the intangibles in life right now than sis does.) 
Her long term benefit is of the utmost importance. What is best for her takes priority over what makes me feel better or what would be perceived as easier. That’s what parenting is, if you ask me.
Today, it’s a good thing she’s such a neat kid. And so darn cute. Makes tough choices just a tad easier.
