This weekend's assignment: Love. It's not that I don't usually but to really, thoughtfully, excitedly, and purposely love. When recapping my week I feel like I half-assed it. I skated by not being fully present in my life. There were too many moments I said "one more minute" or "hold on, let me clean the kitchen floor first" and I can't get those back. I pray that I'll *be* in the moment not consistently thinking ahead of the what-if's-of-life but thankful for this time I have today.
J is my precious one but so often I see me in him and wish it wasn't so. It's the *me* in him that I try to stamp out. Forget it, for today I am concentrating on loving ALL of him. Even the nuances that remind me of me. I'll treasure the uniqueness that he is and love it without trying to change him. I want to only see the good, wholesomeness, and wonder in him.
My sweet Sim's. For her I want to really enter into her world. Really appreciate the tiger roar, fairies in her mind, and remember she's my gift and perfect just the way she is.
The biggest gift of the week came from my friend Apple. She's such a light and so honest and real. The conversation she gave me today was priceless. I'll remember her words forever. You are my parenting guru. Thank you.
Wow, you must share your words of wisdom you gained this week and share with the rest of the lost souls in the parenting world! Wonderful thoughts! Loved it!
