I missed posting a Motivational Monday last week because Thing 2 was sick. I took a Ferris Bueller day to be with her. So grateful I did that because then Thing 1’s school called because she wasn’t feeling well. #OfCourse #NowIt’sAParty #FerrisBuellerDayForTheWin #LoveEm&HealEm
It has been an interesting week, but through it all, the kids never stopped. Things 1 and 2 were still eating up all the food, Thing 2 still tried to get out of taking her meds, and Thing 1 is acting like it never happened. #They’veMovedOn How appropriate for today’s message to my team…
Good Morning, Cookies!
Happy Monday!
As I reflect on the end of the school year…Yes, I reflect too! I may not be in school, but some days I sure feel like I am!…I am reminded of just how quickly time passes. I blinked, and I have two kiddos heading into their last years at their respective schools. Sniff Sniff!
It has been quite the journey. Both kids are learning how to manage and communicate their emotions. Some days, this causes me to fantasize about a one bedroom condo in a gated community. #SoSerious Days like today, though, I am reminded of how life works. There are events that will happen in our lives that seem unsurmountable. And in these moments, we may want to pick flight in our fight or flight response. It’s ok. We’re human!
I encourage you to fight!
Stay in it! There is a reason for all things, even if we cannot see it yet. The future is OURS, and we will never get to appreciate the journey if we give up now.
Be inspired! Not knowing what it’s all for can be just the right recipe to keep moving forward. Draw from the excitement of the unknown, and let that fuel you to never stop!
You aren’t finished! There was a video on AFV of a little girl (maybe 6) running a race for track. When she reached the finish line (and won the race), she kept going. The video ended before I could see when she finally stopped, but the point is, she kept running. Keep running…the race ain’t over and you aren’t finished!
Have a fabulous future!
