Adventures
Sometimes I feel parent guilt (shocking I know!), guilt that we don’t do enough cool things. We didn’t go to the State Fair (and wow, EVERYONE went to the fair), we didn’t go to the Renaissance Festival, we didn’t go to this event or that concert and the list goes on. Truth of the matter is, we don’t enjoy taking our kids into large crowds. Neither my husband nor I relax and enjoy. We are constantly worried about losing one of the kids or the crowds just end up overwhelming one of us (never the same person and nearly impossible to predict LOL).
That’s why quotes like this one are good for me. Joy comes to us in moments - ordinary moments. We risk missing out on joy when we get too busy chasing down the extraordinary. - Dr Berne Brown, Daring Greatly
This weekend we went to the farmers market and explored a new park near our home. We had adventures and laughs. JOY.
Screw the guilt.
