Can I forgive myself for being deceived, for foolishly
trying to control my life and make everything okay, even picture perfect?  Can I look forward to and even enjoy the
challenge of working on an imperfect marriage with an imperfect man and
imperfect me?  Can I let go of the pain
and the fear and the sadness?  
Can I open my heart, can I let people in?  Can I have fun and let go of the
control?  Can I risk looking like a fool
and failing in order to enjoy and learn from life?  
Can I trust God and let go?                            
Can I let go of the fear of
becoming overwhelmed and be gentle with myself when I do become
overwhelmed?  Can I maintain an eternal
perspective and let the little stuff stay little (not make it bigger than it
is)?  
Can I enlist my husband's help in
teaching and raising our children and then let him help in his way?  Can we plan activities together and can I
stay calm and happy as we plan and let them come to pass?
