Something I keep telling my daughter

Today I did not want to exercise, my shoulder is achy, I'm tired, on my period, and just did not want to do it because "it's hard".

As I was wandering around the house trying to put it off, and even telling myself "i don't wanna, it's too hard" I heard my 6 year old saying the exact same thing about her reading homework. And what do I tell her every day?" If you don't practice, it will never get easy. If you want it to be easy, you need to do it every day"

It applies so perfectly to what I'm doing today. So I dug in, and I did it. I went a little slower today and worked on getting it right, instead of rushing through and getting half of it wrong. And if I "practice" every day, someday it will be easy.

And on a proud mommy note, she did an awesome job with her reading yesterday. And has her first loose tooth!
