Dear Friend,
It is not even 10:00 a.m. on Saturday morning and I already considered giving up and calling it in for the day.
Why?
(‘Why?’ asked my little boy, as I was filming the video.)
(‘Why?’ I asked him back.)
Because I got bumped in the face by a little ‘frog’ (toddler) who jumped up and smacked my face and my teeth and I just thought: ‘I need a break. I could do with a break.’
However, I had to attend to the little frogs’ owies first, and then it took about 20 minutes to be able to come on here and film this video — with interruptions, lol.
And I originally was thinking: ‘I just need some pain relief and to call in Daddy and to go have a lie-down.’
I just had a really bad tone for the day, but now I realize that there’s still so much of the day left — and I can make good choices and it can still be a wonderful day.
So, I’ve made it without the pain relief so far and I’m going to have some water. I’m going to have my breakfast.
Um ,my little one has just taken my water. (Of course, haha.)
I’m going to have what’s left of my water.
I’m going to have some breakfast.
We’re going to read together, and we’re going to have a super fun day!
So, in moments when you feel like you just want to be done, maybe all you need is a little breather and the realization that you can turn your day around at any time, and it can still be wonderful.
(And yes, sometimes you do still deserve breaks, as well.)
Sharing infinite love,
Ali
