Nobody ever accused these kids of not being interesting!
Ash is a scherenschnitte master in the making.
And he also has a way of lightening the mood, perhaps unintentionally.
This is ultra important in e-special-ly unique households, where the air can be heavy with worry and frustration until the parents come to peace with their child’s diagnoses. It took me several years. The pain never goes away – that’s in the heart – but the mental clutter does subside, and it must for the health of those who overthink and imagine out into an unknown future instead of creating the future here and now with each step in a positive direction.
My son remains sleeping. I’m on “me time.” I got a whim to open my current reading and share something from a random page. My mind said “to the right,” so I am on page 117 of Ask and It Is Given. (I am no longer on a quest of self-development, but I enjoy this kind of material for the feel-good quality. It’s simply a leisurely activity that keeps me in a positive place.)
And most fittingly!…beginning at the top, I read: There are many words that are used to describe emotions, but there are really only two emotions: One feels good and one feels bad.” I’ll stop right there. As I was saying about “lightening the mood”…light is good and heavy is not.
We do our best to keep life light!
It’s spring in the northern hemisphere – lightest of seasonal moods. We attune to the season by opening windows and letting birdsong be the music of the morning. Even the hum of trucks in the distance is calming, as it’s just part of how life rolls in these West Virginia hills.
Life is good. It feels good and expansive. That in itself is healing, body and spirit. What will you do to feel good today? Commit to three things!
