I found this Project 52 post from a month ago that I somehow forgot to publish! So here it is for you and I'll be updating the last 4 weeks as well in the next day or two.

If I had my child to raise over again

If I had my child to raise over again
I'd build self-esteem first and the house later
I'd finger paint more and point the finger less
I would do less correcting and more connecting
I'd take my eyes off my watch and watch with my eyes
I would care to know less and know to care more
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites
I'd stop playing serious and seriously play
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars
I'd do more hugging and less tugging
I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often
I would be firm less often and affirm much more
I'd model less about the love of power
And more about the power of love.

What a great reminder of the gift my children are to me - and an encouragement of where my priorities should be! Enjoying the day with my family - I hope you are able to be doing the same!
