The Changes

I'd like to see the human race change the way we try to control everything. I read an article today about how the US federal government is expanding the scope of its abstinence programs to people up to age 29. I mean it is funny but at the same time somewhat horrifying. 

Here's what I've done in the last few days: 1) Told my 40-something year old brother to stop behaving the way he is with our father, 2) "Advised' my husband what to do with the VIFF tickets he wasn't using, 3) Directed colleagues about how to do things better, 4) Pouted and moped because I wasn't doing things well enough.

Tomorrow I'm going to let go, step away and see just how well people manage without me telling them how to do things! I'm reminded of Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion, "And without much ado, we will all mudle through without you!"
