Between a toddler and a baby:

“I want to hit you with this hammer but I know I can’t”

Reminded me of how many things we want to do in our lives but feel like we shouldn’t. A few examples…eating cupcakes for lunch, letting the dirty clothes pile up to the point you need crampons to scale the mountains in your laundry room, reading blogs instead of doing bills, having one more cocktail, feigning illness to get out of work….I’m sure you can name a few in your own life. But here is the deal....don’t feel bad if you can’t show the restraint my two and a half year old did. If you are going to engage in your “should nots” do it intentionally and with abandon. I have no idea who originally said this but basically change your behavior if your guilt makes sense if it doesn’t let it go. Don’t waste energy on guilt, it isn’t worth it.

Now if you want to pummel your partner with a plastic hammer when they walk in the door that is a different story….

Honesty is a quite exceptional policy.

I completely agree about the guilt of the "should nots". It's about living with intention.
