One step at a time

I was trying to persuade myself that it would be ok if I skipped my workout. I knew in my heart that I needed to be accountable to the goals I had set, to the work I had put in, and the money paid. Sometimes it is simply those little accountability moments that help us keep our promises. I have been reminding myself and also been encouraging my children to keep our decisions based on what we should do or what we said we will do NOT on what our emotions influence us to want to do in the moment. So on a rainy day we work on keeping our spirits up and moving one step at a time. It is not easy, but in the winter we need to have a vision of the spring and summer. We need to see the fruit of our labors and to know this work now is part of what makes that time so sweet. I am also thankful for our choice to be a part of the Classical Conversation groups that help make winter homeschooling fun and do-able. I love seeing the fruit of their hard work and the joy of keeping the forward motion. I know that I lead by example so when I step out the door into the rainy, cold day - I think of how good it is that I have an opportunity to do one step at a time. God is good. Carpe Diem.
