Do you ever feel like Marvin the Martian visiting another planet? The life you plan for your child with special needs just doesn't always mesh with the ones others are planning?If you're a person of faith you're not far from right. We are only here temporarily. We are not of this world, but of the next. We are here for such a short time, some of our special children less than that. If we keep that in mind it makes this life seem more precious. It's an experience for growth and love. The next life, our REAL life will be forever and it will ROCK!
To that end I've made a list of thoughts to consider:
Live each day like there is no tomorrow ... or yesterday.
Take risks, the rewards are great.
Hug people, even if you have to teach yourself to do it.
Say goodbye to people as though you'll never see them again.
Ask God to bless your children.
Read funny books, watch funny movies, laugh ... alot!
Do something for yourself every day.
Forgive.
Get enough sleep.
Spend time really looking at (and touching) nature.
Watch squirrels, they're hysterical.
Buy or pick fresh flowers.
Tell your family that you love them.
Praise your children.
Pray.
Have a good Monday,
Much love and joy,
Karen
