try try again—
it’s hard to teach an old dog
new tricks
(I pulled this affirmation card today—it’s perfect.)
I remember her words the time my mother said to me, “ Oh Mimmy, I’m trying but it’s so hard to change…” We were talking on the phone, coast to coast, California and Philadelphia. She was in her early 70s and I was young then and didn’t understand, didn’t know how to listen deeply with soft concern, so I never knew what she was talking about. I never asked. I didn’t know what she may have been going through or why. Now I'm wanting to change and now I understand. There is no end to learning.
