This morning, on what felt like the millionth day of rain, my kids told me the rhyme had to be wrong: April flowers bring May showers. Then we tried to pick up donuts and coffee for #teacherappreciationweek — only the drive through was open, the line was long and they were out of boxes of coffee. It would’ve been an easy time to focus on the rain, the delay in the start of the day, etc. But, instead we zoomed out—we remembered (all of us!) that we had some sunshine Tuesday morning and yesterday, while overcast, still gave us some good bike riding and baseball in the backyard time. When I went to download this graphic today, and Andy Warhol quote popped up, reinforcing that need to take it all in rather than focus on the minor frustrations: “Everything has it’s beauty, but not everyone sees it.”
Maybe the world shouldn’t revolve around OCD!
Realistic goals are always easier to meet!
