SOLSC ~ 30/31 ~ Enough
This has been an experience as always, and yet right now I am fighting the fight of sickness as it settles in just before spring break. I am looking forward to the rest that will follow these 31 days, in knowing that it’s enough to meet this goal, and that no matter how much – […]
SOLSC ~ 27/31 ~ Celebrate
Today we were so thankful for the chance to have a double celebration – the first and most of important of which is that joy and hope that comes with Easter. We had a tremendous service this morning and count ourselves so very blessed to be part of such an amazing body of believers. The […]
SOLSC ~ 23/31 ~ Success
. Today, my baby gave his first “talk” at the science fair. He was nervous and uncertain he even wanted to do it, but he persevered and I couldn’t be more proud of his accomplishment.
SOLSC ~ 21/31 ~ Conflict
I find life particularly funny at times. We’ve spent a while in class discussing the various forms of conflict and wrapped up our discussion today with an activity. This particular year, it seems as though conflict has been tracking me, always close on my heels. Every once in a while, I can feel it […]
SOLSC ~ 20/31 ~ Grace
Sometimes I’m awed by the grace I’m given. Other times, I’m embarrassed to need it, or even too proud to admit that. Always I am humbled by it, and grateful for it. Though I can stretch it thin, I know it’s remarkable and unbreakable. Today, I long to remember the awe and gratitude I have […]
SOLSC ~ 17/31 ~ Notice
Today, was a hard day, a day when I longed to linger in the luxury of slumber. But dawn broke, and the day unfurled in soft shades of creamy blush, and dark magenta. As the sun slipped below the horizon, I recall that even on these hard days, there is so much beauty around us […]
SOLSC ~ 16/31 ~ Sick?
This week, I’ve had so many students absent – we’re talking 10 students absent in one hour! Tonight, as I sit here I’m trying to decide if I’m really feeling queasy and blech, or if it’s all in my head because of so many sick kids? Here’s hoping it’s not the start of something awful […]
SOLSC ~ 15/31 ~ Listen
Yesterday, I shared some of my uncertainty about this whole parenting gig. So much of what I expected – without even realizing it mind you – is vastly different from the reality. And then there’s that level of comparison amongst parents. Comparing kids’ activity schedules, abilities, interests, charity, discipline styles, etc. Some of […]
SOLSC ~ 14/31 ~ Growing
Sometimes I wonder if we’re doing this whole parenting thing right. I worry about the inordinate amounts of screen time our kids get every so often. I overhear snarky comments and see mean streaks that stop me in my tracks. Considering their activities, it seems like we should be taking piano lessons or twirling in […]
SOLSC ~ 13/31 ~ Begin
Yesterday I watched in wonder and witnessed their curiosity. I simply sat back in awe of my front row seat into their amazing lives of infinite possibility. Today I vow to look closer love deeper laugh louder learn with patience and grace through failure. Tomorrow I will begin by greeting the day with hope that […]
