Setting Intentions
March 2023 Slice of Life challenge
My oldest daughter who’s 13 has entered a season in her life when she is trying everything. She doesn’t know where her extra curricular love lies yet. She does play the harp quite beautifully and takes it very seriously but she is hungry to “belong” and the harp hasn’t really opened that door. Her school does not have an orchestra so the social side of being in a music ensemble is not happening right now. We are working on that. However, she has thrown herself into everything her school does have to offer. She’s played softball, basketball, had a part in the school play and now she’s playing volleyball. It’s a good thing she goes to a smallish school so she can make teams and give each activity a solid try. As a parent I am struggling with simultaneously being super proud of her efforts and being super exhausted being her Uber driver to all the practices and struggling to make it to all her games and performances. To say I’m looking forward to her pairing her interests down is an under statement. Whew it’s exhausting, but yay I’m proud!

It's fantastic that she wants to try so many different things. Eventually she will find what she loves. Until then, lots of driving for you:)
