We are in September--my all-time favorite month!
Maybe it's because it starts with my birthday (yes, yesterday WAS my birthday. Thanks for clarifying). Or maybe it's because I love the start of school. Maybe it's the change of seasons (though in my honest opinion, September is generally the best month for summer-like weather).
Whatever it is, I always find myself waiting for it and breathing a sigh of relief when it finally arrives.
But this year I'm looking forward to a restart. Even in the midst of this year's craziness that I can't control and can only lament, I'm calling,
"DO OVER!"
So since yesterday was my birthday, I'm going to give you
5 DO-OVERs
I've learned in my 44 years on this planet.
- DO OVER: Apologize. It's never too late to apologize. It's never too late to humble myself and let others know they matter; that I screwed up and that I'm owning it now. Even if I can't fix it.
- DO OVER: Recognize my limitations. It's okay to say I can't do that. Even if at one point in my life I was able to do something well, I am allowed to now say that isn't something I can do anymore.
- DO OVER: Stop a habit. This one can be super hard. I'm currently working on not biting my nails. (Yes, I'm that person, and I'm aware of how gross it is) I've been biting my nails since I had teeth, but this year I've found a nail polish system (Olive & June--not sponsored) that I enjoy and it has helped greatly.
- DO OVER; Try something new. Eight years ago, my husband started a new job, and at that time in our lives, we decided it was time to start drinking coffee (it's a long story, but if you are interested in knowing how we came to that decision, let me know). It took us a good 18 months-2 years to actually enjoy coffee, but now we love it! (Maybe see #3?)
- DO OVER: Change perspective. It's never too late to change an opinion or view. Whether it's because I "finally" see something I had never seen before or it's because things aren't lining up logically--whatever the reason--we are allowed to ask questions and try to understand better. And we can do that any time in our lives.
We are so glad to do this journey of life, family, and fun together with you! Have a labor day weekend to remember!
