I’ve been working on a goal for over three years now…..⠀
⠀
Yep, sometimes it just takes me that long to get my act together.⠀
⠀
MY GOAL: Have a rotating one-on-one connection with a different kid (I have four) each week.⠀
⠀
The first year, I put it in my calendar with a reminder of which kid I would try to connect with that week. I don’t think I EVER did it. At least not purposefully.⠀
⠀
Now don’t get me wrong, I connect with my kids all the time, but it not usually ALONE time with them. Considering there is four of them, they tend to travel in packs.⠀
⠀
The second year I tried to make a more concerted effort. I succeeded about 25% of the time. I wanted perfection, but was okay with at least growth.⠀
⠀
This year I’ve been trying to be a little better about it, but still am only succeeding about 70% of the time. It’s obviously easier for the kids who live at home, but I still have a goal of being able to connect regardless of where they live.⠀
⠀
I’m not perfect. But I’m trying.⠀
I think that counts!⠀
