Paying Attention to What's Working and What's Not

 It's important to not let a day go by without paying attention to the things that worked well and the things that didn't work so well. Today was full of beautiful moments and also full of areas of growth. Here are the things that worked. 

What Worked

  • Placing computer on the kitchen to write notes, when inspired
  • Reading to Benjamin in rocking chair while the girls did school 
  • Norah sitting on the end of the couch for school providing an excellent backdrop
  • Eating lunch outside, in the sun, with the girls while reading
  • Benjo sleeping on the bed during naps with heater and me resting a bit
  • Eating simple delicious plant-based foods during our meals
  • Writing down afternoon activities and prioritizing them 
  • Short cleaning breaks accompanied by uplifting songs
  • Doing our Bible lesson outside
  • Great insights during Bible lessons along with learning new vocabulary

What Didn't work 

  • Not implementing discipline plan throughout the day
  • Not having a working schedule at the beginning of day
  • Benjo screaming alot for my attention, he was probably tired
  • Squandering small moments of time that could be used for planning or resting
  • Benjo not sitting down to eat his chair
  • Indecisiveness
  • Still going to bed a later than I want

I'm grateful for being able to pay attention to these things. I'm hoping tomorrow will be even better than today. I am grateful for it all. I am very grateful. I am very blessed...
