Time to put my learning to use

Okay, not an easy day today. Somehow I am filled with doubt. The doubt vs. trust power tool. All of a sudden my child is second guessing himself. I'm trying to use my new tools to help him, and empower him to trust more, and therefore make a decision that is good for him. He has all the answers to my questions, but cannot implement them. I feel like a failure. I have to keep telling myself that it will all work out. I need to have some gratitude. Instead I am bored, and this leads me to worrying too much, and to get in and fix it for him. He has to make his own conclusions, and I pray that he does. I don't know why, but I feel that it is my fault that he doesn't. I don't even feel like visiting my father who feels all alone. I am glad I am beginning to journal, because it helps me get my feelings out into the open. I guess, I am in a lot of pain today, so that doesn't help. I'll try to come back later with some gratitude.
