Ups and downs and choices

Between strep throat, colds, croup, choir concerts and birthdays it has been a busy month! Add to that planning a vacation and applying for various business licenses and formalizing other plans related to said business! Still, I apologize for going missing for so long!

Life if full of ups and downs, highs and lows. We can experience these variations of life and mood in a moment, a day, or over the course of weeks or even years. We can't always control the events of our lives, but we can control our reactions to them. This is the lesson I am trying to teach my children. This is the lesson I'm constantly trying to apply myself. It's a challenge at times, but the effort matters more than the outcome. Every action you take is a choice. Do you see that? Every reaction you have is a choice. Do you see that? How do you convey that to your children? Your spouse? My choice is to offer this viewpoint to my children. Think of the glorious amount of control it provides.

I need to make a choice between blogging and parenting at the moment. Guess which one takes priority? Thanks for reading and staying a follower while I weave in and out of the blogging world.

We can't always choose what we do, but we can choose HOW we do it. Happily or Grumpily!
