I love the concept of having a family plan, but of course I have made no advances on actually formulating mine. I have had the thought tucked in the back of my head for awhile, though, hoping that it might just come together. I have been trying to come up with a family motto, but nothing seemed to fit. Then it hit me and the epiphany had finally arrived (no doubt it was in the middle of a downward dog pose, I tell ya, yoga is my new answer to the cure all, fix all, solve all problems that I seem to run into). Anyways, here it is--EVERY DAY MATTERS! So, that's it, for our little family. I was thinking about it first in terms of how I work out. I have all the usual excuses lined up on why I can rationalize my way out of it for the day, which I truthfully don't understand, b/c I actually love to do it. But, that's when the thought came to me, that each day matters in my life. And then I took it one step further and thought about my relationships with my husband and my kids. Each day matters--how I treat them, activities I plan for them, the little moments we share. And then I thought about it even one step further and thought, hopefully my boys will be able to use this as they get older and are confronted with tough choices. If they are presented with a choice that may seem small today, hopefully this little motto will ring in their ears and they will be motivated and feel challenged, to step up to the plate and make the right choice knowing that every day matters and each day counts. So, that's my bit of whatever for the day. Wanted to write the epiphany down so that I didn't lose it. Now, on to the rest of the plan...
