No...
So age appropriate...And although I know its just a word and not a phrase... But the way he says it...time after time in a row...It becomes a phrase...Each time he says it...It takes on new meaning... And I'm sure it will get old...but for now, I kind of love it...and so far...it makes me smile every time...
Greyson, Are you ready to come inside?
Sometimes No is a perfectly acceptable thing to say...No, I can't. No, I don't want to. No- I'm sorry- I have too much going on. I wish I could, but no, I can't.... Say No when you need to. Don't do something out of guilt or obligation. You already have my permission- so give yourself permission to say No.
I thought that being a stay at home Mom would mean that every day was equivalent to the weekend. I didn't think a bad word like, Monday...would occasionally make me shudder... I was wrong...and although it slightly defies my idea of logic... Mondays often still carry their weight in yuck in my World. It really stupes me...Usually I am not left feeling so powerless over a word worth only 12 points in the game of Scrabble.
Did you have a crappy Monday too? If yes, I want to hear about it. If no- please keep it to yourself or lie to me. Deal?
Tonight I have very little to write. At this moment, I only remember how to color inside the lines. I am even boring myself. I barely picked up my camera to take pictures today. Apparently my camera was also having a case of the Mondays. I still write, because everytime I get an email that says, I read your blog every morning...It makes me feel good, and dependable...adjectives I like to feel...and I don't want to let you down... I also write because I want to be a writer...Hmmm...maybe I even am a writer...I'll have to ask God if this blog counts...and if you want to be good at something- you need to do it- even when you don't feel like it... and sometimes you have to do it badly...to learn how to get better...because that is something that seperates the good from the great....Willing to try... And I'm happy at being good at something...but not at the expense of being great... So, this here little post- is my contribution- on working towards great...
Tomorrow is a beautiful do-over. I think of my terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day...and I feel...Really, really, really blessed... No- I'm serious...Thankful... My bad day- is just a little game in my mind...a day I lost the positive battle... not the war...and I see so many things on the shooting in Aurora...many that make me feel sad...but some that make me feel hope... And I think...they are allowed to use the term bad day.... I'll just call my off day a hiccup. Because it won't leave any mark or scar on my life...and in 11 days and 4 hours from this moment right now...if you asked me, How was July 23? I'll tell you... I don't know. How am I supposed to remember what happened that day?
Our tough days...the days we can't do it all... will be forgotten as time replaces them with new memories...even though it certainly doesn't feel like it in the moment...
The quiet, uncreative, lack-luster glass half days....are often times our bodies way of refueling...and making us cognisant and able to recognize the today I did good, laugh out loud days...
Hello Tuesday... Excited to spend time with you.
