Hey friends! Sorry we missed you this week but we are on vacation! Also I am flogging on my phone cuz internet is not working here and my phone has autocorrect so beware of any weird words that don't seem to fit. I know this doesn't go along with this week's session (I am guessing since we weren't there) but after this week, I really feel challenged regarding discipline and the idea of "Delayed Gratification". Chloe has really been challenging these past several months. She used to be my very sweet girl. Lately she has been, well, just outright disrespectful. TJ and I are at the end of our patience with her. Then I started to realize that it takes discipline to discipline. I realized that there was a lack of consistency and follow through..not always but pretty regularly. For me, it was a reflection of what I believe my life has been over the past several years. For instance, the week we dis 2proapt, I did it that week but haven't done it since. My running has not done as well as I wanted since being on vacation which many people might expect because hey, I'm on vacation! But for me, again, its a reflection of the life I have become accustomed to. I figured out why I have trouble with this. A breakthrough. A lightbulb. I am not disciplined because I have trouble with delayed gratification. I want Chloe to listen to me right then and there. I don't want to take the time to establish the rules and help her learn them and follow through on them. I have slacked on running because I am not being instantly gratified with weight loss. So anyhow of was a realization about myself that I am going to start figuring out how to resolve through this group. Anyhow my phone is about to die so I am going to sign off. Please pray for our safe travel back. See you all on the 7th!
