Lessons You Learned From Children

It’s hard to explain all the things I’ve learned from my children. With those two little girls come the greatest feelings of love and pride and optimism that I ever hope to have. My kids have taught me that I have more patience than I thought possible. They’ve taught me to really and truly appreciate a full night’s sleep. From them I’ve learned to stop trying to “make plans” because surely as I do one will develop a fever, a cough or a rash. We have learned to go with the flow.

Most of all, every day I have the pleasure of watching my kids love life. They live in the moment, and they always seem to make the most of any situation. My children inspire me to try to do the same.
