So what are you all “promising” for your New Year’s Resolutions? We would love to hear from you! I think I am going to shoot for being more patient…with my kids, my husband, maybe the Universe in general? 🙂 I realized this was something that I needed to put some more effort and thought into when I was scanning a mother of 6 last month. Yes. 6. Number 7 was on the way! As she and her husband settled in with her posse, she hefted herself onto the table while calmly instructing children of various ages to sit here..or there. They shuffled around quietly doing as she asked! It was a beautiful thing. I wondered if she always was this calm and patient. After seeing most of her children mirror this same sweet calmness I thought, ” I have to be more like this! Then my kids will pick it up..” After we got started with her scan, the youngest little girl who was around a year old, figured out how she could jump from a step stool to the ground with as much drama as she could muster. Dad had a hard time containing her, and with each attempt to do so, she wiggled and screeched a little more. All I could think was “whew! at least there was one in the bunch!” I suppose I relate more to spunky …maybe with just a dash of more patience? 🙂
