Can-Do Attitude

Sorry for the brief hiatus.

I've had a teething and super sick little boy here who has needed some extra momma snuggles.

And who am I to refuse?

But, little boy has two new teeth and is over the on the mend from his cold, thankfully.

With little man being sick and needy, I haven't been able to do as much as I want to do.

I've felt discouraged because my "to-do" list is growing and I'm not making any progress.  Rather, I feel like I'm falling behind!

Tuesday night, I had to get out of the house.  I was hoping it would clear my head.

(I went to Target, of course.)

On my way to Target, an ambulance was driving down the road behind me.

Lights flashing and sirens waling.

I tried to pull over, but there was a person hanging out in my blind spot.  I was finally able to get over, but not before the ambulance hung out on my rear long enough to make me feel like a royal jerk.

And then I started freaking out.

Generally feeling bad about myself and my seeming unkindness and rudeness.

The feeling lasted all night and into the morning.

Until, I looked myself in the mirror and had a little pep talk.

Out loud and everything.

I said "Landon, what do you need to do today?"

Fill my prescriptions and teach 4 lessons were the only things that I needed to get done.

"Ok, what can you do today?"

Take stuff to Goodwill, clean my bedroom, do dishes, and play with my boy.

With that "can-do" attitude, I felt great all day long!

When I'd run up against an obstacle, I would ask "can I do this?"

If I could, I would.

If not, I'd let it go.

And I let that be enough.
