If only we could remember how often we worry when we don't need to!
Recently, as I ran pushing the kids in the stroller, ok, jogged not ran, there was a rather smushed squirrel in the middle of our path. We had no where else to go and the girls were going to see it from a close perspective. I tried to prep them, warning them it would be gross and that it's part of nature(or nature with roads), etc....when Paisley took the slightest pause and said, "well, I guess a vulture will have to get that one!"
It was said with such conviction and such matter-of-fact childhood innocence. So, needless to say, I worried for no reason: something us moms do all the time as we forget that often, there is no need to worry!
I like the following quote while I reflect upon the vultures!
Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight. ~Benjamin Franklin
