With the new year in full swing, I have been so busy with life that I haven’t been able to post a lot here. As I have to balance so many things on my plate, I am finally in the swing of things and will have time to post more. For now, I will post my rose, thorn, bud for the day. One reflection activity I do with my kids is called “Rose, thorn, bud.” Basically it’s thinking about something good, not so good, and something you are hopeful for for tomorrow.

Rose: I had the chance to bond with my co- workers tonight.

Thorn: I haven’t been sleeping well this week, so today I was tired.

Bud: I hope I have the chance to go for a run in the nice weather.

Whats your rose, thorn, bud for today?
