what's your goal today?

Some days my goal is just to get thru the day. 

Some days my goal is to raise the next President of the United States, Supreme Court Justice, Barbara Streisand, or Pablo Picasso. 

Some days my goal is to just hear the world "thanks" without the prompt. 

Some days my goal is to not say the snarky comments going thru my head when I walk into the messy kitchen. 

Some days my goal is to help a child filled with anxiety to breathe before taking the stage. 

Some days my goal is to breathe myself before losing my temper. 

Some days my goal is to say just the right thing, at the right moment, that will stick with this kid so that later, when times are tough, they can hear my voice and overcome an obstacle. 

Some days my goal is to find that last blasted sock so that the pairs all match up. 

Some days my goal is to say the right words to my fellow nannies so that they will remember the important work that we do. 

Some days my goal is to LISTEN to my fellow nannies so that I can grow as a professional. 

Some days my goal is to go to the bathroom in private. 

Some days my goal is to have my 2 year old finally put her pee in the potty. 

All my days the goal is to remember the feeling of a hand clasping mine, the sound of a giggle or the smell of sunscreen on a sweaty kid's neck long into my twilight years.
