the power of YET

The power of YET. I read this today and it was so powerful. I need to hear this, read this, remind myself of this time and again. In all that we have seen and experienced since March, it has been difficult at times to stay positive. YET, I know better days are coming. 

We make plans that get cancelled. We book things that don't happen. We play the waiting game on a lot of things. Yet, despite it all, we are okay. We stay positive. We stay informed. We stay humble.

We use the term YET when we get disappointed about cancellations. We use the term YET when thinking about school, special outings, trips, our futures. YET is powerful! I needed to read this line today. Rachel Hollis knows her stuff.

If you aren't familiar with her blog, social media, books, jump on it. Immediately! You will feel better. You will feel the power of YET. You will enjoy it. I promise :)

losing steam

This was a big week. The quarantine was extended. The schools have started prepping for end of year. Vaccines were discussed. Masks were discussed. New rules were discussed. It was rainy,  then kind of nice, then chilly. We teach the power of the word YET and I have used the word over and over this week.

My engine is running out of steam, you guys. But I see the end is near and I am doing everything I can to keep fighting the good fight. I made more masks yesterday. I continue to chat and check in with friends and family. I avoid negativity and fake news. I keep my daughter occupied and happy. 

Most of spring was cancelled. Most of summer is being cancelled. That makes me sad for all the plans we had. Then I remind myself that my safety and happiness weren't cancelled. We have proven time and time again that we can have fun anywhere. It is going to be okay. It has to be okay! I will make it okay.

I am constantly using growth mindset so now I should step back on use it on myself. This is just one hiccup in life. Granted, it is a long and scary, unknowing and potentially dangerous hiccup, but we will get through this. Bad days are okay. Bad moments are okay. I just remind myself that they are places we visit, not places we live or places we stay. It will be okay!
