My son wanted to sign up for track and field. In an effort to arrange this, I had to rearrange my schedule. He was excited about it. I am thrilled that he is happy to be involved in an activity.
I am grateful that I can give him this opportunity. I did not have the opportunity to participate in activities outside of school. There were some activities I could do during school, including yearbook club. That did not last a long time.
I liked to be involved. I wanted to try my hand at sports. However, I never quite go the hang of it. I felt that I was too short. I now know that this is a limiting belief. Also, my parents felt it was drain on their finances and time for us to participate in activities. They did not want to wait around for us to finish our meets or practices. This is something I did for my sisters when they were older. I made sure I was around for their practices and activities. Now I am running for different reasons. I am running to keep up with all the different activities, to enrich my kids lives, while balancing my schedule.
