After a long day that ended in mostly frowns I read my friend Rebecca's post. She is an awesome teacher, wife, and friend. Unfortunately this is our only chance in this life to raise our children…I can't do it again and my goal it to be happy with the results and NOT want to have a do over.
"If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd BUILD self-esteem first, and the HOUSE LATER.
I'd FINGERPAINT MORE, and POINT the finger LESS
I would do LESS CORRECTING and more CONNECTING.
I'd take my eyes OFF my watch, and WATCH with my eyes.
I'd take more HIKES and fly more KITES
I'd stop PLAYING SERIOUS, and SERIOUSLY PLAY
I would RUN through more fields and GAZE at more stars
I'd do more HUGGING and less tugging."
