Worrier or warrior?

My son is a bit of a worrier. So I had this bright idea to collect cute sayings from Pinterest and print them out as a little inspiration area in his room. I was all excited to show him my little captions. The last one was this:

He read it and without a moment's pause he said, "I think for me they are roommates." I never cease to be amazed how perfectly kids can so clearly say it like it is.
So... Maybe my quotes are not foolproof but here are two more I liked:

One final note: The book below is not so much related to worrying but it is a good anchor for talking about striving to be your best.

Spring has Sprung

Once again I start my blog off with the usual start... It has been awhile. But we have lots to update on. First off, for those who enjoy reading other blogs, these are two of my current favorites:
3 things for mom
This blog always picks a theme and then has a truth, a tip and a find related to that theme. It mostly keeps things in perspective and reminds us all to stop and smell the roses.
away for the weekend
This is a blog that my cousin's wife creates. Even though I was in fifth grade when they got married, I feel like I am finally catching up to them and enjoy the country photos and casual feel of the entries... Kind of like having a cup of tea with a good friend.

Our new state agrees with us. As hard as it was to move, I feel it was more than worth it. Now that weekends are more about enjoying the great area we live in, my soul feels like priorities are starting to get back in place. I treasure the calm and the simplicity. All four of us enjoy seeing the snowy mountains while we explore different ski resorts. We also enjoy the variety of hiking trails on the warmer days.

We just had a wonderful visit with Grammy. We enjoyed seeing the Celestial Seasonings factory, visiting Frisco, Breckenridge, A-Basin, Nederland, Boulder and Lyons. It was so good to catch up on hugs and stories. But it was also comforting to see the strong bonds we had before this move can handle the miles.
Now we are heading in to the fun days... School will be out in a month, longer days, farmers market and food trucks. Yeah! One thing I really want to experience is a concert at Red Rocks.
