What Will They Remember?

I don't multi-task well. I am your go to person if you need help completing one task or event. I will pour myself into it. But life is rarely that simple. These past few weeks have been good but stressful with so much going on at one time. My efforts are split in so many directions. And I feel stretched thin.

I have to admit, I stress over the details and sudden changes with all the nuances of my daughter going to grade school in a new place.

But I have to ask myself what will she remember? All the school supplies being in the correct color and size, her back pack costing the Earth? No, she'll remember that she had something. (Even if it's used or bought on sale.) Maybe something lovingly chosen for her. But she will remember me being there.

So this is my encouragement for myself today. To breath deeply and be thankful not that I got everything right, but that I'm able to be present.

P.S. This is about half of the requested school supplies.
