Dedication is playing an important role in my life at the moment. With the semester's end upon me, writing 10 page papers seems like torture. It seems to get more and more difficult with each passing day to dedicate the right amount of time for each part of my life. Trying to keep it all balanced is always a challenge. To find time for my kids and family seems so short...when in reality they are what really matter to me most and should receive the majority of my time. With classes and training, those days are few and far between. I do feel like I am teaching them though, the importance of being dedicated to something you have set out to do. Without dedication, determination and perserverance where would any of us be? So I have to remind myself that it isn't all that bad to have them see me under stress and maybe not having quite the time I should with them because I am teaching them about all the things I mentioned in addition to the importance of continuing education and making the best out of life. I feel like I am instilling a value in them they might not understand with only words, but that my actions speak louder. The important thing is, they know that I love them more than I could ever express and to me that makes it all OK for now.
This winter at Buffalo State Park. We had a blast!
