keeping up

Today I am thankful for the unconditional love my kids give me. No matter how many times I screw it up, they still are there and want to be loved and nurtured. Today was not the best day for gentle parenting. I am still learning and figuring things out. Must be present, must be in the moment. must not let anger take over. These kids are not doing things to make me mad. They are doing these things because they are learning. They are testing. I also must remember to take joy in the things that they do. Drink in that unconditional love. let it fill my heart and guide me in how I treat them.
