We all have varying degrees of faith.
Recently my granddaughter started taking piano lessons and she still has a bit of reluctance singing and playing simultaneously.
I wanted to do something to boost her confidence; so I purchased two journals that I had her pick out.
The first one is a “Gratitude Journal” and it depicts all of the things great and small that she can now document daily.
The second one is her “VICTORY” journal. I wanted her to have a point of reference that is filled with her successes.
I know I’m a bit biased but this fabulous girl has her very own VICTORY dance similar to the one she noticed from watching football with her father. You know in the end zone when the quarterback has a touchdown.
Her dance is bright eyed, a bit of a shimmy and a very toothy grin. There is a video of her at putt putt getting a hole in one on her first try…AMAZING! Of course the dance followed and anytime I want to duplicate a quick feeling of JOY I watch that video.
Today she went to Home Depot’s kid’s event that allows children to build things & she received a certificate. Her Dad will have her place the wooden pinball game she made in her gratitude journal and the documenting of her certificate of achievement in her Victory journal.
I realize that there will be times when every day is not stellar and she will come back to these tools to pull her own bootstraps up and you can too!
