“Every time I start chasing my tail, and I'm trying to control all thes...” — Cheryl Ladd Quote

Every time I start chasing my tail, and I'm trying to control all these elements of my universe, I pray, 'I'm not in control of any of this. I can just do the best I can. Please guide me. Please help me figure how I can move through this in the way You would have me.'

Don't overdo it. Don't over-diet, over-exercise, overeat, overdo the makeup, and don't stress out.

My mother has rheumatoid arthritis. I don't want to lose the ability to jump up and walk across the room or move around with the energy I'm used to having. That's far more important to me than a wrinkle or two.

I laugh a lot and count my blessings.

Until I'm perfect, I'm always willing to improve. That's what I'm chasing.

I've got my head down, working hard, while others are chasing other frivolous things.

Every loose ball, I'm on it. Every offensive rebound, I'm chasing it.

It's like one of those dreams you have when someone is chasing you. You're running as fast as you can, and someone's trotting behind you, just out of range, trying to grab onto you.

When Dad stopped playing in a rock band and was done chasing that dream, he devoted himself to his family. I would love to do the same thing - just without driving a 1991 Suburban and wearing sweatpants, a fanny pack, and six-year-old Pumas.
