So I have been having conversations with my son multiple times in the last few days about not living for the future or for some experience that is down the road, that he needs to live in the "here and now".
And I even created a little song about the here and now and all the things that he would miss if he was focusing on the future. And it reminded me how when I was young in my teens I just lived for the future and when about to graduate from high school I really realized how much I missed.
And then tonight, I was reading the Brave Girls daily truth and talked about really enjoying TODAY because the ends of things can be really hard. This rung so true today. I am feeling anxious because
I am letting go of the past and embracing being a stay at a home mom and it feels unsettling. But if I stop and just think about today, there was a lot of joy. And the joy was good.
So obviously my lessons to my child were for me as well. Clearly the things they need help with the most, are the lessons I still need to learn.
