It’s getaway day! Off to see number 1. It is weird having the kids leave the nest and not being able to see them often. The oldest, a sophomore in college, moved in August, and we haven’t had a chance to hug his neck since. Only one lunch note today, so I guess the other three will be getting texts. This probably foreshadows a point later in life for us.
As a reminder, these Lunch Box Quotes are literally that. Every day, I try to find a good quote for the kids to write on the napkin that I put in their lunch box. This year, since the kids are for the most part, making their own lunches, I have time to post them here.
1. “Mountain, mountain, it’s good to see your face…” – Flatland Cavalry
2. “Every choice you make is a vote for the man you will become” – James Clear
3. “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” – Einstein
4. “Life is a war between who you are and who you refuse to be.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
