Monday morning

Monday morning. It's a beautiful day and we're heading out to the local community college to drop a class. Sometimes, getting what you want doesn't work out quite like you planned. These are things learned by my teen as she navigates her life. She has a very dear friend staying with us for a month and she realized that to do her best in this class meant that the other parts of her life would be on hold or at least given little attention. This doesn't work for friends, not for long anyway, and especially not when they come from a few states away to spend time with you. So, a lesson learned about compassion and generosity and giving and taking. It's all good. She'll take the class next semester. For now, she and her friend will learn and grow through exploring other interests. Who knows, maybe this will open new doors for both of them.
