Signs & Stages

I am in the stage of life where I am helping to launch a young adult into the world, making sure that she is learning the skills she will need to navigate the world. One of those skills is learning to drive. With this permit driver learning the ropes, I got a “new driver” magnet to put on my car when she is driving. It helps...some. It’s meant to garner a little patience and grace from other drivers in this early stage.

Every time I put the magnet on my car I wonder what it would be like if we all had signs we could display to let others know more about where we are in life. Maybe signs like...

Grieving

Overwhelmed

Super excited

Working out a complex problem

Concerned about a loved one

Feeling on top of the world

Maybe we need more signs to remember to give each other patience and grace as we keep learning the ropes of how to be more compassionate companions in this life.

What would your sign say right now?
