Just in case you were wondering…

Yes, I’ve had some “scheduled” ideas for words and thoughts of the day lately that I haven’t shared with you here. The main reason is that there are days (sometimes, a string of SEVERAL days in a row!) where my kids remind me that they are only 7 and 4!

Sometimes, like a few days this week, we just needed to keep reinforcing the thought of the day, “Please listen to your mother and do what I ask of you the FIRST time I ask!!!”

Hard to move to loftier thoughts and vocabulary when we’re continually learning to embrace the chain of command in the home! ; )

That’s OK. I can pretend to be patient!

Today’s thought of the day… again… is “Listen (and follow through) the FIRST time. Doing so allows us to enjoy each other more AND we get to do more fun things!!”

I don’t think you’ll find that in a book of quotes anywhere!

You WILL find a closesly related thought, though, that happens to be one of my favorites: Discipline is Freedom.
