A note I wrote for the WPNS November newsletter.....
Thank goodness for our children and their ability to remind us of what is important! I am always running from home, to WPNS, to home, to class, back home, to a meeting, the grocery store or whatever. My children bring joy to so many mindless tasks and stress to others. They remind me to laugh at silly things and how exciting garbage trucks really are. While at the awesome Underwood Farms field trip, I got some life knowledge from Mr. Dominc Lin. He and Alex Reis were driving the engine on the little train ride and Ben and I were in one of the back cars. (Yes, I was riding the train, what of it?!) I was choo-chooing and joking around with the kids and shouted at the engine, "we're going to catch you, here we come!" After a few taunts, Dominic yells back at me, "Lily's mom, just enjoy the ride!" I was speechless, an event that does not happen often. Somehow, that was just what I needed to hear and has stuck with me these past few weeks. So thank you for your wisdom Dominic, you little life coach! As the busy holidays approach and bring with them the inevitable stress and madness, remember to enjoy the ride! |
