Do you remember when, as a kid, you would play a game with your friends and something would go askew and someone would yell “Do over!” and then you would start all over? No one made a fuss. Everyone just started over and had a good time doing it.
That’s what I want as a grown up. I want an unlimited supply of do overs.
I could use them at work.
I could use them with friends
I could use them with my boys.
I could use them almost daily in my marriage. There are so many times that I want to wipe a memory from Dane’s mind and recreate it where the scenario is so much different from the one we’ve lived.
Said some harsh words? “Do over!” Instantly, the words disappear and you replace them with kindness.
Behaved in some atrocious manner? “Do over!” Immediately live that part of your life with grace and elegance.
Made some huge mistake that leaves someone in your family crying with grief and pain? “Do over!” Shazam – Wipe away all sorrow and leave little kisses in their stead.
Too bad we often choose to leave the do overs behind in childhood. Think of how much easier life would be if we had hearts like children, allowing everyone do overs until we got it right.
As I get more in control of my emotions and hormones are starting to get regulated, I'm feeling the need to ask for a do over for the past couple of months. Thank goodness my family loves me unconditionally! I hope you all have a great week and that you are granted as many do overs as you need to make things right in your life.

Sweetie--you don't need any "do-overs" lately with me. Thank you for having been so kind and gracious with me lately.
Amen to the "Do Overs!" And how sweet of Dane. Oh how I love being expressed over cyberspace!
Dane, that is super sweet.
I have been dieting and falling off the wagon about every day for the past 8 months. DO OVER!!
