I had so much to do today, but I knew that I had to spend time with my Son. He started little league this past week and has wanted to practice. I bought a baseball glove this morning in anticipation of my inevitable involvement. I do still have the only glove that I ever owned. However, as I received it probably when I was in the second grade, it is quite small. I also decided that I deserved a new glove.
This afternoon, Connor asked me to play catch with him. I did. I had fun, and we both did a good job. While we were playing, he ran by me to fetch a wild ball. On his way back, without a word, he came over and gave me a huge hug. He then continued on his way. That was a monumental moment. As a Mom, for what more could I ask?
Quite regularly, I remind myself to focus on what I did, rather than on what’s left for me to do. I read recently (not recalling where) that what counts is progress, not perfection.
Remember to marvel at the moments.
