“Keep moving forward.” – Meet the Robinsons

Tonight we spring forward, the worst of the time changes. I’m tired but I’ll be up earlier than needed. Why, oh why, do we still do this?!?!

I love the longer days. Sunshine is my energy and joy and life. I could live outdoors (as long as there was a pool and maybe a little AC). I can’t wait to have the sun around just a little longer in the evenings so we can do homework on the patio until the mosquitos come out.

Spring is so full of activity. Everyone comes to life and hurries to Get It Done. Summer is around the corner. The calendar is full.

Sometimes I lose my center.

Sometimes I get overwhelmed.

Sometimes I cry.

Sometimes, after I cry, I find my center again. I refocus. I persist. I keep moving forward, toward progress.

In these longer days, it’s easy to get lost in the “the more you do, the more you get done” cycle. Remember to take time to refocus, and use the longer days to carve out some sunshine for yourself. That time helps us to keep moving forward.
