Resilient

If it’s one thing my kids are it would have to be resilient and as a mother I think I’ve done the job I needed to do.

Austin’s numbers are good. We see the hematologist tomorrow and I’ll have them write up the release to send him back to school after Easter break.

Gen didn’t get selected this weekend for the hockey team she wanted to make but she’s already moved on. She’s joking and looking forward. Gotta love her sense of humor, she texted the skills coach she works with about Monday’s session and asked “Am I on for Monday or have I been cut from that too? lol”

In our household we look forward not back.  Yesterday is over, it is what it is. Today and tomorrow is a whole different ball game or should I say hockey game.

I only admire Genevieve for putting things in perspective, in reality hockey will only be a very small part of her life. In the big scheme of things ten years from now it’s really not gonna matter what team she played for yet going through these experiences as a fifteen-year-old does matter. She’s demonstrated how irrepressible she is.  No matter what happens in life I’m pretty darn sure she’ll land on her feet.

Shouldn’t we all treat life that way?

Do you want to spend your life always looking back?

If you do so you’ll miss so much today and tomorrow that you’ll never get back and you’ll only have a life filled with regret and time wasted. On that note I’d like to end with the Apache Blessing:

May the sun

bring you energy by day, 

May the moon

softly restore you by night,

May the rain

wash away your worries,

May the breeze

blow new strength into your being.

May you walk

gently through the world and know

its beauty all the days of your life.
