Words of Wisdom From a Mom: Rest if You Please!

Painting of lake scene| River Art| High End Beach ArtworkI said “yes” to my son who wanted to go to a sporting good store. I said “yes” to my daughter who wanted to get her hair cut. I even said “yes” to the voice in my head that said I should do another load of laundry, which at the present time involves driving to the Laundromat. All of this, and more, on a Sunday which is suppose to be a day of rest.

So, what was I thinking? I wasn’t.

Don’t wait until you’re sick to take a day off.

ladies on beach| old time beach artThis week my husband introduced our children to a hit movie from the 80’s - Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. It’s about a high school senior who decides to skip school and goes to extremes to pull it off. It seems to be my children’s new favorite movie.

There are parts that they think are hilarious and parts that I cringe at them hearing and seeing. The last line, however, was a “Wow Moment” for me.

Be Driven to Have That Mountain Top Experience.

Mountain View Artwork| Giclee Print of Arizona Mountain ViewI recently thought of that story we often hear (or tell) regarding how hard life used to be and about having to walk to school, for miles, uphill, both ways. When life is good does anyone ever talk about going down hill, for miles, all the way?

Shine a New Light on Your Situation to Gain a Better Perspective.

Batroom lighting fixture inspired by nature theme| pine tree rustic bathroom lighting fixtureIt was one of those mornings when we were all getting ready and it seemed that everyone needed to go at the same time. The bathroom that I usually use was occupied so I got my makeup bag and went to another. I started my normal routine of applying my makeup and when I looked into the mirror I was surprised at what I saw.

Keep Stepping Up to Bat!

Decorating Ideas for Boys Rooms| Art for Baseball BedroomMy son had ten raffle tickets to sell to raise money for his baseball team to buy the equipment they needed. It was the day before they were due and he mustered up enough courage to hit the pavement and start selling.

After knocking on a few doors, he quickly returned home and said he felt a couple of rain drops. We saw the sign of rejection on his face.

Stop Carting Around the Need to Control and Set Yourself Free.

Giclee print of wildflowers in mountains for saleI often think of my life as a grocery store. There are so many things trying to get my attention that I can sometimes lose focus and begin to feel overwhelmed.

Don’t get lost in worrying about what other people think of you.

Childrens Art| Girl in field of flowers picture| Art 4 KidsMy daughter had a soccer tournament at the beach this past weekend. As we were driving into the area, I misread the directions and made a wrong turn. Once I realized it, I stopped to ask for new directions.

My daughter turned to her friend and said, “My mom is lost”.
