It's the small things along the way that etch your life story! High five! I do the same thing on Sundays and try to do this reflection time every night. I went back to Tribune, Kansas this weekend. Getting the baby, my five year old and husband through was work! Denver is not my favorite stop. But from there, the kids traveled well. Check 1. We spent time with my grandpa. Check two. My bff got married - we have known each other since we could drool without teeth. Check 3. I saw my mom's new apartment - she sold the farmhouse when my dad died two year ago. Check four. We didn't mend our fences, per se, but we are still family. It's an awkward relationship. So, I'm going to keep doing the things I know are right, focus on changing to become a more patient, forgiving, generous and de-stressed momma. And try to learn one new thing each day. And tell my family members three things (building a new habit) every day:
"I love you"
"I am proud of you"
"You are good enough"
Three very powerful phrases.
