I'm here after a very long time! It's some trying times now, first of all glad that I could see some positivity still! I'm forced to be away from kids to make myself available for something else more important. But one good thing of me being away, I see my older kid has stepped up to be a responsible and caring "big sis" to my younger kid.
So nice to see you here, Malathy. Ask someone to take lots of pictures. And short videos too if the kids don't mind. Hope you are back with your family soon. ========= My positivity for the day -- weather looks good for the long hike with DD coming up tomorrow. I (mostly) look forward to it, and explaining just how a 'grabber' can become President, and why the world is still her oyster.. and other such conundrums that somehow, I don't know how, fall into my plate to explain to the bachchas.
Ode to a Lark Veteran's day to pay homage to the warriors A boondocks corner to pay tribute to a saviour Not a mercenary with spears and axe But a member with wit and finesse Not in a battle of slay and gore But in a wager of ply and vouch Not a cry of foul and provoke But a voice of reason to convoke Not with a blazon of authority But with a glow of modesty I'm impressed, Not that the angels feared to tread But the man has not fled From, A tangential creature
After a parent-child altercation, Jr., with a flourish, added "a new mom" to the shopping list we maintain. Without missing a beat, I told him he should look out for Black Friday deals. Item disappeared from the list faster than a $50 TV goes from Walmart shelves on Black Friday. Sometimes humor helps.
Counted my blessings. Really : ) This thread is a year old now. I went over the positivities I have posted in it. And the many that didn't get posted so as to not hog thread. ; ) I am truly blessed. Feeling very benevolent. Even towards annoying whatsapp groups with cheesy forwards. Even looked at the whatsapp logo closely for the first time. Which brings me to the positivitiy of the day - figured out how to enable settings individually for each whatsapp group.
It has been a blessed week. Went on a vacation to celebrate DD's birthday.. I can't believe she is turning into a big girl ..
Happened to notice that Google Doodle today celebrates Jagdish Chandra Bose's 158th birthday. Google doodle celebrates scientist Jagdish Chandra Bose
De ja vu? I came to write something similar. I've had a very challenging few weeks and am wondering what else can go wrong. I remembered this journal I started while @Gauri03 and i discussed this thread. She started this thread and I wrote a journal to protect my child's privacy. I'm going through the old entries from Jan/Feb makes me want to jump up and down with joy. My son has come so far this year and I'm hoping the setbacks are just that, minor road blocks for major victories. Sometimes, instead of look at how far we have to go, it's so much more positive to look at all the hurdles we have overcome. I stopped that journal in summer but I want to start again. One positive from him a day no matter how hard the day is. That's the journal.
