Learning to Let Go

Today for my 44 I used my wobble balls –

While standing on the balls, I did hammer curls.

This was hard to maintain my balance but I liked the extra challenge!!! (I used 10 pound dumbbells which was almost too heavy for 44 reps – I stopped at 24 for a few seconds to stretch!)

I’m still trying to decide if I should still share my 44 on the days I do post or just wait and include all of them in my weekly wrap – gonna take me a while to figure out exactly how to make this work!

Just know, whether I share them each day or just once a week, I’m still doing a daily 44!!! Not ready to give up that part of daily activity – I figure I can make it to 50 at least!!

Last week, I had to realize that my boys are growing up and I won’t have them around that much longer. :Cry-Out:

While Jordan was off in Los Angeles having a great time –

I was home thinking about the fact that in just over 3 years (which I know will fly by!!) he will be leaving home and starting life on his own!!!

I started thinking that the best thing I can do in times like a big trip away or some of the other things that will come along in the next few years is to show how much I love him by letting go and supporting him as he spreads his wings!!!

Whether he is posing with some of the Princesses at Disney (this is the only one he took a picture with because she is a Samuri!) or being goofy with his friends, I have to trust that the training we have done up to this point is enough and that he will make good choices!!

The more I think about it, when we have kids, we start letting go in small ways from the beginning and continue to let go a little more and a little more until one day…

I’m thankful that I’m not quite to that day but I know it will come SOON and I need to start preparing myself mentally!!

Maybe I could pull a Jordan…When Jordan was just over 2.5 years old, he was the ring bearer in Sam & Stacy’s (my younger brother and awesome sis-in-law) wedding. After the ceremony, when Sam & Stacy were fixing to leave, everyone had a white balloon to release when they drove away. They left, and Jordan was so proud –
