The dust is settling around here and we finally had a “regular” weekend. (Since the Zach and Zandra have left we’ve had some busy weekends)

Well regular is a stretch… but it’s our new regular.

It wasn’t our weekend to have the kids (aka, Sam), so we just had the boys (aka, Josh). Weird, weird, weird.

I got a little teary during church when I saw Josh all by his lonesome doing all the things he used to do with Zach.

I got a lot more teary later that afternoon bcs the house felt really quiet.

My go to vice I’ve noted in times of big transition is junk cereal. Chocolate Frosted Flakes is in the spotlight now. I bought myself a Costco pack and then that’s it. Back to real food – (or at least my regular Fruit Loops cereal which is a treat rather than a vice).

But, I have to say, I quite enjoy how the littles are getting to be in the spotlight and I enjoy having the one on one time. Transitions are just hard – but that doesn’t mean they are bad.

Anyhow, so back to normal, means back to normal routine, which means back to our quote of the week. I looked on our kitchen board and noted the last official quote was July 29th, 2019.

Oops. But we kind had a lot going on.

But this week, we start again….

I’m on the James Clear mailing list and I quite like it. I think the guy is brilliant and I love so much of what he has to say. A couple of weeks ago he came up with this gem:

“Rather than trying to be right, assume you are wrong and try to be less wrong”

He explains a bit further saying that trying to be right has a tendency to devolve into protecting your beliefs. Trying to be less wrong has a tendency to prompt more questions and intellectual humility.

I just loved that. I think it opens the doors to so much more discussion and curiosity. Makes for better communication and a dose of humility never hurt anyone.

Hopefully it won’t be months before my next quote of the week:)
