Have you taken the time to realise that the people closest to you are probably teaching you valuable life lessons? Take a moment to really think about it....
I am constantly surprised by the life lessons that I have learned from my girls.
I had no idea that I would learn from them as much if not more that they are from me. I shouldn't have been surprised really!
This past month, Bean (the pink pirate) has been reminding me about bravery. About how to be brave even when you are scared witless.
About how to be brave despite being scared witless.
And considering that my word for 2012 is 'bravery', [you can read why I chose this particular word here], it is a synchronistic reminder that I need to step up, and start being braver.
Bean has been through an ordeal this last month: her four year old injections, she's seen a doctor for an ear infection (and dealt with the ear drops that followed), had eye drops for gunky eyes, and is starting her first day of preschool tomorrow.
And she has resisted, and cried and run away (from the ear drops that is!), and decided she didn't want me to leave her behind, but in the end she has persevered and bravely faced each challenge head on.
I have also resisted, and cried and run away, from my challenges, and just like Bean I am trying to bravely face each one. But sometimes I need visual a reminder too. [I am after all a visual kinda girl.]

So did you think about it? And what did you discover? I would love it if you shared your story!

My daughter had her first day of preschool today. So tiny getting on a bus with wheels the size of her. I missed her so and heard her voice in my head around the house all day. They are miracles and we are so blessed.
ReplyDeleteAwww, I'm sorry to hear about the troubles. I had tons of ear infections when I was little I had to get an operation. But I must say I don't remember anything, so it's a good thing. Stay strong!:)
