It's a sign!:
In maneuvering our way down the windy path of parenting, some of us are always on the look out for a sign that we are making wise decisions. I was reminded about signs yesterday, and our interpretation of them.
My thumbs up icon was sticking in an online contest at Get Paid University. Was it a metaphor? Was I stuck? Had I stretched myself far enough into the world and needed to stop? I paused those thoughts. I admit it took me more than the prescribed 6 seconds. With renewed energy, having talked back to those negative thoughts, I considered what else I could do to gather more votes.
With that question in mind, I took my newly present self for a walk. Going down the steps of my office building, a young man called out the name on my shirt. In this oh so small world, we found out that his younger siblings had attended the preschool where I teach peace education. We chatted for awhile and then he disclosed that he had an office in the building and was an internet marketer.
Needless to say, he did give me the next step. He answered my question.
In the future when I'm looking for a sign. I'll remember to be sure it's a clear and accurate one, based on what I intend, and not one painted by those old negative voices.
