The Words of Wisdom List

Sorry. Still no Summer Project Life photos. Will get there :)
Facing a tough week coming up and trying to prepare myself.
More on that in a bit.

Today for "Lists With Friends" I am sharing a few of the newest pins to one of my favorite boards on Pinterest.
My "Words of Wisdom" board.

1.

I saw this one, stopped and thought hard about it. I think there is a lot of truth to this for me. I spend to much time focusing negatively on how I perceive myself whether it be looks, personality, ability as a wife, mom, friend or whatever role I am filling at the moment. But I think at times that I don't give myself enough credit. I am so quick to be critical of myself, and ultimately I am being unfair to myself.

2.

I always tell myself things happen for a reason. Whatever crap I/we are going through has a purpose. And ultimately I find that things usually work out somehow. So trying to remember this whenever times are tough.

3.

So true. I shared this one with Evan tonight. He worries like me, and I am trying to help him find peace sooner than I did in life.

4.

Something I have learned since dealing with difficult people and situations is that this is 100% true. And I share this thought with my children often. The only one you can control is you, and it is up to you to decide how you are going to deal with life.

5.

Dishes, laundry, packing lunches, bills, phone calls, help with homework, cooking dinner...I could go on and on. Disciplining my children also falls under this as well. So many situations where I have just felt like just going back to bed or not facing the millions of tasks that are waiting for my attention. Trying to really just get things done and not procrastinate as much.

6.

As someone who likes plans, this idea is refreshing to me.

7.

And this one isn't from Pinterest. It was something I saw on Facebook, but I love it. 

So as I look at these, I know what is really on my mind is my son is having surgery next week. Just a routine surgery to have his tonsils and adenoids removed. But surgery nonetheless. I have complete faith all will be well, but your thoughts and prayers would be much appreciated. It's been a long time coming and I feel that this will truly help him. 

That said, I know my blogging has been a little spotty lately and I am not sure how much I will post over the next week and a half or so if at all. I will try to post to let you know how things went though.

I know I will be back on the 17th (St. Patrick's Day) for sure though because I have an assignment for Paper Issues and the issue (challenge) being shared that day.

Thanks for coming by today. :)
