On a clear day, stop and look around you...
I took a walk in the woods this morning. I needed to escape from distractions and clear my head. Nuschler needed to run, smell, poo and work out his energetic anxieties. With sunshine, a cool breeze and beautiful trees colored in orange, yellow, red and green, it was perfect.
I have been thinking about this question: Are you a perpetual people pleaser or a disciplined decision maker?
The goal is to make good decisions that make the key people happy. The older I get, the more I realize how difficult it is to see the good decision and pick the key people. So I take the people pleaser path, become miserable and start demanding that people please me, which gets me in trouble.
In the woods, I remembered my blessings. I remembered grace and joy and worth.
And I picked a few leaves for my mom. If I can't please her in big ways, I can try with the little ones.

Well, I have figured out quite a while ago that I am a "people pleaser", sometimes that's not always good... but then other times I think, what's so bad about it? Ummmmmm
There is nothing wrong with pleasing some of the people some of the time. It's trying to please all of the people all of the time that leads the dark side.
We all have a tendency to "people please" but first of all we need to do what is best for our inner selves.
