We have survived the holiday season with Christmas and New Years with the parties, the celebration with food, family and the kiddo's being out of school. Does it mess with your schedule as much as it does with me? It was like any kind of schedule goes out the window somewhere around December 15th and then we come screeching into January and try to find our footing again.
We had a WONDERFUL Christmas and it was awesome because my parents came in to visit and Kaleb was able to stay home and visit and rest and play. He LOVED it!!!! He slept in and even took a nap a couple of times I think.
So now it's time to get back to what is THE ROUTINE.
I know ours is pretty consistent.
There are times when it's weird and it can really throw us for a loop. Have you ever noticed it can be the small things.
The "Oops I forgot about this or that."
or
"It snowed last night and EVERYTHING changes"
or
There is a party or meeting that we forgot about?
We have all been there. We have to be careful not be so focused on the schedule and enjoy those times.
Maybe we needed the snow to make us slow down.
Maybe we needed the meeting or party so we remember to have fun or listen to something new.
I'm a stickler for a schedule and DO NOT MESS with it. I have it planned out and there is a lot I want to accomplish and when things happen, I can easily get frustrated. I've resolved this year that I will make the most of my time.
What does that look like?
If there is a forgotten meeting- It's time for me to listen and learn!
If there is a forgotten party- It's time for me to enjoy friends and fellowship!
If there is snow- SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY IT!
It's a New Year and we are back to the GRIND. Don't forget to enjoy the ride. You might miss out on some true treasures!!!!
Happy New Year!!!!!
