It seems as though this time in my life seems to be very trying. Although I guess that's what we ask for when we are pursuing something that's really profound! I have taken a coarse following the book Battlefield of the Mind" truly inspirational. Last night we reviewed the chapter about positive thinking and how it can change your life to a positive life no matter the circumstances. That's where I want to be. If we truly worked to find the good in EVERY situation we would be strayed away from fear and doubt. Anyways...I'm very encouraged.
On the second note....it is said that terrible two's are the worst. Well I just made a new observation......has anyone ever thought about the age of 7? As I look back I realize 7 years of age seems to be just as difficult. It's that age they are truly trying to find there place and what to see what exactly they can do to push mom and dad the furthest. Now that I am going through this with a girl, I see that it just has added drama to the whole trying times. Let's see yesterday I gave Madisyn a dot to dot page to do 1-120 (which see has been doing for 3 months now) and she had complete melt down. "I don't want to do this, I hate this" complete drama!!! I remember when I was in school dot to dots were fun so I thought a simple dot to dot page everyday would enforce her numbers and location of the numbers as she's learning to add and subtract. Yeah well she did not think so. Well after her huge throw-down she realized I was not giving in and she had to do it. She completed it in two lousy minutes after 90 minutes of chaos??? POINT??
I never believed people when they said girls were harder than boys...I'm starting to agree!!! Even with all of that said she is a true blessing and just tends to teach me who I am as they are figuring out who they are.
