It seems on certain days, I have more eye opening experiences then others! Today was one of those days, and it was justified....It was a crazy day at work, the boss was in one of her "moods." I am sure each of you have experienced this, if you work for someone else. The difference today was- we were rushed to get things done...In fact, several times throughout the day, she would say "Hurry" "ASAP" as if we weren't moving fast enough! I being the perfectionist I am, took this hard, knowing our best isn't done when hurried! As I was driving to pick up my son, I recalled how the day had left me feeling and then the realization hit me.........I have hurried him all his life-to get dressed, to get shoes on, to get his homework done, etc.....and how has this left him feeling???? When he got into the car, I broke into tears and apoligized for rushing him all the time.........And made a pact with myself, to try not to do this evermore! I wonder, how many other parents can relate?????? It is not a good feeling, when we are doing the best we can.......
Life isn't about how fast we can go, it is the journey to get there! Much Love
