Gut Feelings


That inner voice ...

I have a hard time grasping it when it's mumbling.

Sometimes I have to get awfully quiet to hear its whispers.

I try to pay attention to it, to follow its lead.

I love it when I do follow, and it pays off.

Too often, I become swayed by the opinions of those around me and give in to something I think is just wrong for my family. (Ask my oldest daughter sometime about getting a Nintendo ... I gave in to the pressure of my sister's advice).

:: sigh ::

Instincts, huh?

Gut.
Inner voice.
Instincts.
My own judgment.

Adults seem to know how to trust these things.

Me? I'm still learning.
