Reflecting

OK so today wasnt the easiest... Soph calmed down, we popped to town and did some last minute glastonbury shopping ( earplugs for the night time) and once we were home the kids just chilled Connor, being sick zonked out for a few hours Sophie played on education city and most was left unsaid until Darren returned...

We discussed it and agreed, they are all different kids with different needs and its our job just to go with it and do our best to meet their needs, however we go about it.

So if she wants wycliff, then thats what she gets, if thats really her decision. We will ask her after the weekend and see. If she wants to try again at the smaller homeschool group thats fine, if not, thats fine too. ( I think we've probably been here several times already so weve promised ourselves for our sanity this will be the decider!)


My friend J sent me this tonight, she thought( and I agree) and it sums up today so well, I thought I would share it! from

"What's GOOD about that?" ::If it's raining, you're supposed to call it "bad weather" and complain.Complaining makes you feel bad, but you've been led to believe that thesource of your angst is the rain-- the weather *conditions*. That's conditionality

.UNconditionality means wanting so much to feel good that you stop usingconditions to justify feeling bad.

One way to practice the Art of Unconditionality in the face of "bad"conditions is to ask yourself, "What's GOOD about that?"What's GOOD about the rain? It vitalizes the soil and plants... It makes theair smell clean... It's fun to get drenched and then go take a hot bath!

What's GOOD about children "misbehaving"? It means they're trying to engage,explore, connect, create, etc... It means you get to practice loving andfeeling good unconditionally, which is the key to your Authentic Power.Eventually you'll realize it's neither good nor bad -- it just IS.
