At any time you can look yourself in the mirror and say, “Hey, I don’t like that about myself,” and you can exchange a bad habit for a better one.
It’s not always easy, but it’s always possible.

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey

I want to pick a habit this week that I can actually succeed at while sick in bed most of the day and the only thing I can think of is reading to my kids. I don't have a problem reading to them. The problem I have is getting them to hold still long enough for me to read to them! They usually love to read with me but things have changed since I've been sick. I guess I just don't have the energy to reign them in anymore and they tend to run wild more often than they should. They know once they escape outside away from my clutches that I will not have the energy to come after them!

So this week I am going to exert myself and read to them whether they like it or not!

Here is how you link to an individual post if you’ve never done it before: Right click on the date at the bottom of the post you want to link to (or the post title depending on where you blog) click “Copy Shortcut” and then paste it into Mr. Linky.
