Don't Blink!

This is going to be the year of Doctor Who quotes, because Nik is all about Doctor Who. And because it's his favorite show, I always try to use Doctor Who as a way to explain things to Nik.

There is an episode called Blink, and it's one of our favorites. In the episode, the Doctor and his companion are trying to prevent the weeping angels from taking control over the Tardis. There is a great line that the Doctor recites.

"Your life could depend on this. Don’t blink. Don’t even blink. Blink and you’re dead. They are fast. Faster than you can believe. Don’t turn your back, don’t look away, and don’t blink! Good luck."


Don't blink could apply to your life. Because in the blink of an eye, time passes quickly. This photo is Nik's 1st day of kindergarten. This little guy just started his senior year in high school. In the blink of an eye, folks. Back then, senior year was a lifetime away. We had time on our side and we were positive we could fix everything.

Turns out, we needed to fix our own attitudes. He's perfect the way he is. Once I accepted that his life was on a different journey, I saw all of the wonderful qualities that he has. Nik is tender hearted, has great attention to detail, and is a very dedicated worker. Give him an assignment or task, and he will go all out to complete the task as perfectly as possible. That is an excellent job skill, my friends!

Nik has so much to offer. This year is all about discovering what path to take next. There may some fear, worry and doubt. But despite all that, Nik will face it head on, take his first step into adulthood and he will rock it! Get ready world. Here comes Nik!
