Lucky

It's nice to be lucky (good lucky, not bad lucky), but it's also important to "make your own luck". Sometimes the things we do increase the chances of our success. Be prepared is the best advice I can give you when it comes to this. One way you can be prepared, that works well for me, is to have lists.

I keep a list of things I need/want to buy. I keep a list of things I need to do. I try to start my day making a list of things I want to accomplish. Doing these things will give your days direction and will stop you from having to constantly think or remember what you want or need to do. You're going to have a lot of things you need to remember and do. Anything you can do to outsource or free up your resources, the better off you'll be to face anything that comes your way. Bonus for me is that I get satisfaction when I get to checked things off. Maybe you will to.

Sorry I have to wear buttons to work. I can’t wear t-shirts and I only have one top that doesn’t have buttons and it’s too warm for a sweater. Hopefully mommy will pick you up early today. Maybe she’ll take you to the park since there’s no swimming…

Still can’t access photos on my phone. Anyhow, I’m at work and I can’t work because I’m still locked out my my computer. This is a reminder that small mistakes or lapses in judgement can have long consequences. Often times it’s better to think or not do things rather than “deal with the consequences”. Sometimes the consequences are unknown or beyond our expectations. I’m wasting so much time now because of my lapse. Learn to develop your emotional intelligence and make good choices. 🙏 

Birthday Bash (Not Sebastian)

Another day. Another party. This one is for Aunty Melissa and Uncle Peter's birthdays. You did okay. You actually said good bye to everyone and you didn't say you couldn't do a lot and you didn't complain when you said good bye to people you already said goodbye to.

Sorry you didn't get a long nap, but we had to sacrifice. Sacrifice is a good life lesson. Life has goods and bads and sadly, you can't have one without the other. I wish you could, but that's not how it generally works. Sorry Aunty Dina couldn't come by today. You were really excited about being nice and giving her a kiss. Maybe we'll see her soon. We hope she feels better.

Get Er Done

Look, they make boba scented shampoo. You want it? That's a crazy idea as I didn't know boba had a smell. Anyhow, I was trying to clean out the cabinets of pasta and ended up buy a lot more to do it. Not ideal, but sometimes it's necessary to spend to get things done. Which is today's lesson for the day. Try your best to get things done and keep your life clutter free.

Things always come up and you never know when you're gonna go. Don't leave messes for yourself or others to clean up later. Stay on top of life or else life is going to crush you. It comes at you fast for sure. We really should have gone to church today, but we didn't and now we have to squeeze a lot in tomorrow. I know you can't do a lot either...Sorry

It only takes a moment to impact someone for a lifetime. I'm not saying this will impact me for a lifetime, but it sure did mess up my Friday. Although, if I wanted to avoid work, it's a great way to do it. I didn't take time to think about clicking on an email and that caused my computer to lock me out. So I couldn't access anymore work all of Friday and I'm not sure how long this is gonna take to fix or the longterm consequences.

A lesson to me to take my time and think. Please learn from me so you don't make this mistake. I always say, that you'll make plenty of your own mistakes in life, so don't make those repeating other peoples' mistakes. Make new mistakes LOL. Truly a Friday the 13th for sure...

Playtime Is Open

Well, it's actually been open a while, but we're making more use of it now. I need to get you some sunblock for your body. We got plenty for your face still. Anyhow, I'm sorry the fountain wasn't open yet, but I don't think the city thinks it's hot enough yet or maybe it's broken? 

No kids played with you today, but that means you got the whole park to yourself. We'll try to make this a regular thing. I don't mind paying for My Gym, but we only got My Gym because you couldn't go to the park. Can't believe it's been that long already...

Chu TJ and Co JoAnn

It was Uncle TJ's birthday yesterday. He was busy, but was kind enough to make time for us today even though he was very tired. Dinner wasn't cheap. But that's just a reminder that life requires sacrifice and compromise. It would be great we didn't have to do things we didn't want to do, but that's probably a life spent alone (which is okay, if that's what you end up wanting).

But if you want a full and fun and fulfilling life, it's going to require you to do things when you're tired. Spend money on things you do want to do. It may seem like we ask a lot of you now (which with your life experience, you're probably right), but we're preparing you for what the future holds. So if you could learn to eat spiced food and green things and to be nice to people, that would make our current lives and your future life a lot easier (and better).
