It still feels like summer, and motivation is hard to find. As I ponder how this year will turn out, I struggle to not feel the stress as I strive to get the year going.
As of 5pm on Friday, these things I know to be true:
1. Keep things in perspective, it's too early to worry so much.
2. All children will eventually grow into adults and learn the things they need to learn. This includes mine. (and yours)
3. Be happy. Smile, even if you don't feel like it - it will catch on.
“I’m smiling! Can you see me?” I screamed! (from my insides)
My son was clearly not smiling. A 6-word memoir conversation erupted between us.
J. dark dungeon with no fun allowed
Mom. frustration, if only he was motivated
J. motivation is something of a mystery
Mom. time marches on, homework is undone
J. my spirit needs to be free
Mom. escape from school, away he goes…..
Smile, hug me now, I’m done!
