Something may not have gone the way you expected, and it's sitting heavier than you thought it would. It doesn't have to be something big - sometimes even small disappointments can stay with you. Don't rush to brush it off or act like you're fine. Give yourself a moment to feel it. You don't need to carry it forever.
REMEMBER AT EASTER WHEN WE WERE YOUNG, ONE EGG OFF YOUR PARENTS, TWO AT THE MOST, THEN WE'D ALL SIT TOGETHER FOR OUR EASTER ROAST. YOU MIGHT HAVE TAKEN HOME THE LITTLE CARD FROM SCHOOL THAT YOU MADE, PERHAPS YOU EVEN WENT TO AN EASTER BONNET PARADE. YET THERE WAS NO FANCY PRESENTS OR A BUNDLE OF MONEY, NO SURPRISE VISIT FROM THE EASTER BUNNY, MAYBE AN EASTER EGG HUNT, A NICE SIMPLE DAY, SO I HOPE THAT THIS EASTER YOU DO IT YOUR WAY. AS ALTHOUGH ALL THE ABOVE IS LOVELY AND FUN, IF YOU CHOOSE A SIMPLE EASTER, YOU'RE STILL A WONDERFUL MUM.
A little twist on the quote, if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life never knowing its true ability. The same applies to children; each one learns differently, and this is what we should remember when we think of neurodiversity. Like the colours of the rainbow, each with their own light, each shines in their own way, like the stars that paint the night.
Let's celebrate life's little blessings together. A space to share what you're thankful for and cultivate a habit of gratitude. Inspire others and be inspired by the power of appreciation.
