Im seeing a beautiful family picture including Nico of course ;-)
I think the "shoulds" are part of our nature, i have a ton of these and most of it leads me to my frustrations. Yes it's painful but i do think that I needed it as well - im taking it as part of my life's challenges.

Maybe those "shoulds" are the ones that gave you the success in your life, right? It makes you pursue and achieve something out of it. But try not to push too much, ultimately we must still be satisfied on what we achieve :-)

Great insight to your thoughts Cindy. Thanks for sharing, it made me realize something that I need to accomplish today.

By the way, you have an awesome view of the sea right there. It should feel great to wake up with a view like that... oops there i go with the "should-ing" again ;-)
