Yeah, You got this!!!

           Have you ever participated in an activity that was draining and exhausting?  Lets say a 5k, a triathlon, or a marathon?  It's definitely a big accomplishment to do something like that.  I for one have not done any of these things for the reason as to I am more of a couch potato than a Rabbit.   Lets be real, no one wants to see all this running lol.  I know, I know, I am a little harsh on myself and people would "be supportive" thinking look at her trying to better herself.

            Anyway, got a little off topic there, I do the other side of things like the cheering them on and hopefully giving them a little more momentum to finish the last leg of the race.  Go get 'em, you got this, almost there, and you're doing great are of course the go to comments.  I decided to add a little bit more pizzazz, my children, more so my daughter, and I decided we were going to add some dance moves! The neighbors living around that area were probably watching thinking i get free entertainment! Hey the more the smiling faces the better the world is right :D. 

             Then you bring my husband into the mix, who needs to cheer on the cheer squad to keep up the momentum of excitement for these participants.  My middle child decided he is going to motivate the runners by running with them on the small strip of road between the turn and where we direct them.  My oldest decided his job was to stand there and clap in the back.  Looking at my children you can definitely see their personalities coming through just by the different things they did while volunteering at the event.  

Relationships

Here's the definition of relationship:
re·la·tion·ship
rəˈlāSH(ə)nˌSHip/Submit
noun
noun: relationship; plural noun: relationships
the way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the state of being connected

Now there can be all sorts of relationships. We have good ones and bad one's, weird ones and "normal" ones, we even have strong ones and strained ones. As a parent I am not here to shield my children from every experience they have; however I am here to help guide them through those strained, bad relationships. Whether it be by blood or not. I need to help enrich my children's self worth and if someone out there isn't going to make them feel worthy of love and acceptance then I will be there to teach them those people need to be loved but they don't get the power to take their happiness. 

My children have been through so much in their lives of rejection they shouldn't have to feel like an obligation or choice number 20. My children will know they are worth it and are loved and anyone who makes them feel any different can have the side of the road. They will be taught to love those who hate them. They will be taught that life isn't always nice but what we can control is how we treat others.

If we have a tumor that is affecting you in a negative way what do we do? We take it out, we dispose of the item that's causing us internal harm. We look at it and realize that something so small can cause a big scare. We appreciate the tumor for what it is a lump of something hard and something that was once apart of us. However just because it was once there doesn't mean it needs to stay. We can move on past the lump and still be grateful for life up until the time it was removed. A negative experience will be in our past but will no longer be able to define us.

bubbles of happiness

        Bubbles of happiness sounds a little funny I suppose.  It isn't a fully formed sentence it isn't something that has grave meaning to most people over the age of 5.  What are bubbles really besides something that floats in the air that resulted in a mixture of soap suds and water. Well to a child it can be whatever they need it to be.  Have you ever looked at a child who was just so over joyed to have bubbles to play with outside?  These bubbles to these kids make them so happy it's like seeing a long lost friend after being apart for years. Getting the one you love to propose to you or walking down the aisle to say I Do.  It's like Christmas, 4th of July and birthday all wrapped up into one. 

       When did we lose our pure joy of simple happiness?  Where did the joy of just seeing something so simple?  Where did the amazement of wonder go?  When kids see the bubbles pop they don't get down they just look for the next one.  Lets live our lives as though a bubble pops in our lives we keep looking up.  We keep looking for the next bubble to pass by and we follow it.  Our dreams shouldn't lessen just because our lives grow longer.  Lets enjoy the simple things in life and just sit back in amazement of life.
