Well, it appears that the summer totally got away from me! Here it is, the end of October and, once again, I feel like an inadequate parent, and quite the opposite of a wonder - anything. The only thing I wonder is how other people seem to have it all together!
Yet, looking at the past (even as recent as losing my temper 5 minutes ago, as I tried to begin this blog while two of my kids were yelling and arguing)is not particularly healthy, except as a learning tool. I could have done more yard work, gotten the kids' bedrooms better organized, painted the shed, decorated for fall, done a better job of convincing my husband that my daughter needs $500 worth of preschool ballet lessons this year, and the list goes on...
More importantly, it is time to look ahead to this wonderful season that is upon us. If you feel like me - that even though your summer was full of memorable moments, you didn't accomplish nearly all your goals, just let it go.
Every day that you wake up, you have the chance to change the rest of your life. You have the ability to decide that every day for the rest of your life is going to count! What I did poorly yesterday, I do not have to poorly today, and that stretches to all corners of my life.
Today I will make my husband feel like a king. Today my children will know they are loved. Today I will realize that NO ONE can fill MY shoes as perfectly as I can. On to new adventures...until next time!
