I love my kids

It's so easy to go from a negative space to a positive one and back. I noticed that last night when my little one wouldn't get to sleep. She was tired, but she wouldn't be still and I was starting to get a little angry with her. Then I just told myself that she wasn't feeling well, 'poor thing' and all of the sudden the anger dissipated. I need to read that book again, 'Why we hate'. Same thing with my older one. If I take that extra second to see things from his perspective, I usually regain my temper quite easily. However, if I'm in a bad mood myself or feel a bit vindictive, it's easy to go from a good mood to a bad one as well. And I know what I shouldn't be doing, even as I do or say the wrong thing. Anyway, I thought last night about my first 3-week habit to form and I thought that there are so many more productive habits that i could be starting with. For instance - starting off the morning with a hot water lemon drink instead of a coffee. Or doing 5 sun salutations in the morning when I get up, or playing 10 minutes every morning with my kids before they go to school (okay the one, the other's a bit young!!). Anyway, patience, dear G, patience. It'll come.
