Very true. One of the hardest things I find is remembering to do just that..enjoy the moment and be thankful for what we have, not stress about what we don’t.

Lena,
Here is a tactic that has worked with ALL my grandkids! The little ones literally “push me out the door.” When they start to cry, or act out, the teachers and I give them a task. For example, I say, “Gigi, please push grandma out the door!” I stand by the door with the door open, and the grandkids, walk over to me, I am turned around so they can push my backside or my legs or whatever, and they push me out the door, I quietly, and quickly close the door and never say another word. DONE. Sometimes they are responding to my sadness upon leaving them, and they pick those feelings up. I even do this when I leave katie’s house, or Julie’s house, not just school. “Grandma has to go, who is pushing me out the door?” The oder they are, the less they do it. Aunt Jane

Comment on The Race That Even Marathoners Fear by Jane Lockett

The beauty of the SF race is well understood by you, David. Your goal: finish the race. The competition is secondary. I know when you cross the finish line, you will pause, look around, think, “I did it!” and move on to the rest of life’s challenges. It’s about the journey, we all eventually finish in the same way. Have a wonderful day.
