1056. Out of struggle and difficulty this morning with a sensory meltdown and the clock ticking, framing the challenge and emotion in a different way. What is the gift I am supposed to get from this? What can possibly be gained from such struggle and ugliness? We made it through, I dropped Lily off at school and thought and thought as I drove in quiet. And the answer came to me.
With each one of these experiences, we learn something new - an insight to help us prevent, soothe, or recover in the future. With this one, I remembered that we forgot to have the outlet for the frustration before trying to move on. A simple concept looking at it completely removed now, but in the moment, this completely escaped all of us and the release did not happen until Lily and I were driving down the road.
1057. Watching this short clip the night before on Facebook courtesy of Louise Hay: Cheryl Richardson TV, You're So Sensitive, The Art of Extreme Self Care. This we are, a sensitive family. I thought of this clip this morning, which is what helped me choose to drive in silence and reflect instead of numbing/tuning out the sensitivities of this morning.
1058. A surprise package of fun toys and treats from Aunt Joan and family, and my cherished phone time with her this afternoon to catch up.
1059. Andy and I in the kitchen together busting out the dishes, lunches and snacks for the next day and venting our frustrations in a humorous way to lighten the load.
