Mornings. You either love them or hate them. Before I had the baby I loved them. I'm lucky ( or unlucky on school days) my kids sleep in. On weekends they get up around 8:30-9am-now you know why the 7am wake up on school days is hard. Anyway, I loved sitting with my coffee reading. Sometimes I would go for a walk. Now that I'm up every 3hours mornings come too fast and too bright.
As I've talked about. And will talk about more, my oldest is a super emotional creature. She is just like me. I see her explode and cringe cause that could have easily been me. Overreacting over nothing. We've been working for years to help her. She has come so far. Really able to pull it together.....I can't say the same for me most days. I found this article and it just struck me. I want to be present. I want to be compassionate and non reactive. I want her to come to me when she's hurting.
This year has been hard and stressful for everyone. I hope I'm able to be together for my kids. Not let the lack of sleep and stress of life hinder my enjoyment. Below is an article I found that really struck me. It reminded me to calm down. Love them. Everything is gonna be okay!
Perspective. See why it's my word. I need it so badly.
What are your thoughts on this article? Do you have tips to help guide and enjoy your little ones?
