Brevity
Greetings y'all :
I will keep this blissfully brief today.
At the end of the day everyone is responsible for his or her actions. My eight year old is learning that the hard way. Rather than be angry and bitter and attempt to teach others that lesson I choose to question , inquire , adapt and move forward. I am responsible for myself and how I treat others and for trying to train my young child to train his dragon. I can only hope others do the same for themselves .
"Do unto others as you would have them do to you " love me some golden rule . I learned it as a child. I learned many thing , was taught many things that were not necessarily modeled but I followed my moral compass. I've no idea what the future holds but Mowgli gets consistent messaging and modeling at home while receiving mixed message else where.
The Robinson Boys will continue their adventurous journey called life. Our engine has two gears - neutral ( mindful meditation, Quiet Cove, reflection) and forward. We don't go in reverse in spite if impediments .
Thanks for the visit today folks. Have a nice day .
I have to imagine that your engine modes have a lot to do with Mowgli's upset on Monday - and rightfully so. It's too bad the head honcho couldn't just ask him if he's having a better day or pumping him up for a great new day instead of revisiting something that was already done. Honcho must have forgotten that consequences need to be pretty immediate at a young age in order to be meaningful. Rehashing it three days later is unproductive.
