Lessons? maybe?
Day 21: What three lessons do you want your children to learn from you.
Assuming I ever have children, which right is looking like something that might not happen...
I would hope to pass on a sense of adventure.
Make sure that my kids are always ready and willing to try something new. I like to think I'm pretty opened minded, so I want my kids to be the same. I like to say that you can't really figure out what you don't like before trying it out, be that food, an activity, a movie, etc. Try it first, and then figure out if it's for you, that way you can defend yourself over why you do or do not like it.
Second, I would like them to learn to love and respect the art of storytelling, storytelling in all things.
A story doesn't have to be told with words like in a book, an oral telling, or even in a movie. People tell stories through almost everything they do. From artwork to pictures, to how one lives their lives. They need to respect the art as well as recognize it when they see it. And in taking the time to see the story they then can learn from it. The beauty in all things.
Third, music lessons.
They suck, especially when you don't want to go to class. But learning an instrument does help with a lot of aspects of life, and the thrill of performing on stage is like none other, especially when you're in a large ensemble. Its a good skill to have.
So I'm incredibly distracted today. I had a visual shift at work that left me kinda bleh. My brain just wants to go to sleep and reset for tomorrow. So sorry if this post is lackluster. There will be more tomorrow.
