I have a tack board by my computer desk and it's covered in little quotes and blurbs that can inspire me to keep on keepin' on when the day gets tough. This week has been full of tough moments and I've been reading my notes a LOT. I got most of them from books, blogs, and websites about and by people I admire. Some are about learning and some are just about parenting, but all of them come in handy at some time or another.
"Bring the world to your children and your children to the world"
"There are no bad days, only bad moments" -My motto for this week
"Learning happens all the time."
"You cannot possible teach your child everything they need to know. But you can give them one thing they need to learn- a positive learning attitude."
"It's a choice you are making to live your life the way you do right now. You can choose better. This moment can be better."
"Give love generously and criticism sparingly."
"Be honest with your kids. Really."
"Parent mindfully, mindfully parent."
"When you have a bad moment admit it. Move on."
"The main goal is raising happy kids. Everything else is a bonus."
I have a few verses from Proverbs picked out that just haven't made their way up yet.
All 4 of us have been having problems with allergies this week. We've had headaches, more headaches, and lots of grouchiness. It's hard to be tired in a house full of tired people! Every time I lose my temper with a sick, cranky child I can look at my tack board and be inspired to make a better choice. <3
