It all can’t happen in one day.. it takes years of practice, and intentional living, to become the master at parenting.. and if you believe that, wow! 🙂
There is no “becoming a master at parenting.” Just when you think you have things figured out, the next phase of “toddler 2’s, sass, and attitudes” happen.
It’s a slow and steady process of learning about yourself, and your young ones. What makes each child tick? I have yet to know, and I’ve been parenting kids for over a decade.
I just know that I have to constantly remind myself to be patient, take my time to explain why there are expectations and chores, homework, school, respect, all mixed with a little sprinkle of fun..
The time flies, and yes, I mean it passes by in the blink of an eye. When you are in the midst of the chaos, or storm some people say, it feels like a never ending pit. But, it doesn’t have to be that way.
I try to stay focused and positive, taking it one day at a time, one obstacle at a time. There are many, believe me.
Just breathe, stay on the course, and you will be rewarded.
My little pep talk for the day.
Happy 2019… Here’s to an awesome year of adventure and excitement.
Make the memories, take the trip, sip the coffee, and smell the fragrant flowers.
