You can’t control everything

I found this quote on top of a box of teabags years ago when the kids were little. 

I just remember seeing it and smiling as it was just what I needed to hear at the time (not least because my hair has never responded to any form of control).

It’s now become a bit of a touchstone for me in those moments where life almost seems too much; too much to think about, too much to do, to much to sort out.  Because the truth is you can’t control everything, so why not just let some of those things go…or at least put them to the bottom of the pile?

You might find this is enough to help you see the wood for the trees, to focus a little more clearly on what you can control, to see where you can make a difference.

Much love, Sarah x

You can't control everything. Your hair was put on your head to remind you of that.
