I taped it to his desk on a green flashcard - "great day green" - so he can see it right before he gets up to undertake another chore. It's only two reminders, or survival tactics I would like to say, to:
1. have a calm body
2. ask
I'm thinking I need a copy taped to my own desk, maybe my door or my car visor before I ever even step foot into a place, particularly work. E wasn't the only one with a rough week; mine sucked the energy and words right out of me. There were tears and I hate when there are tears If chasing a kid across the lawn and dodging his punches wasn't enough, my legs weren't very pleased with me either after logging some long runs. A week total of 55 miles, and 18 of them came in a single day. I didn't even tackle school work this week in fear that it would take the last of whatever I had.
No need to worry though, really. Really? I tell myself that daily and just look for the little things that make the bigger things not so taxing. A little basketball in the afternoon, a sunny day of 65 degrees, baking, a trip to Trader Joe's, a new T-shirt, a hug, an incredible song I hear for the first time, a good glass of wine...
I've realized that I'm not that hard to please. It's pretty easy actually.
