A few years ago,
I made some silly “hang in there” cards for kids in my classroom….
to encourage them to just keep going…
to persist, even when things seem difficult…..
to keep using calm, steady effort in each moment…
to “hang in there”….

~

Well….sometimes things get a bit overwhelming for me, too

And so, now I get to use those cards to encourage myself…
encouraging myself to just keep going….
…don’t stop now…

uh oh…some days the pressure’s really piling on….

~

sometimes things are harder than I thought they would be…
but I can’t really stop in the middle…

~

~

ah ha…the end is in sight…and pretty soon I’ll be saying…

And what a relief that will be!!!!

: )

~

And so…
a whole bunch of silly reminder cards that have proven to be helpful….

~

Well…actually I see that cute little bear cub
MIGHT be in trouble if he stops right there…
well…maybe just a little snooze break,
til he starts down again…????

cards…in a youtube format….for lightening up…  : )

Hang in there….don’t stop now!!!!
