A mother’s work is never done. The voice Mum never waivers. The role Mum never expires even when you do. For this I am grateful. The challenges it brings me are endless but today when I was a little under the weather, my radiant, understanding, beautiful children all shared some love with me today that brought me to tears.

Our vulnerability to feel these emotions and share them openly are simply amazing. We discuss many things not all “deep” but the banter is there flowing through the day. Their love for me shone through their hugs this morning and the maturity of my eldest helping the others with breakfast. I hugged them so tight individually at different times this morning, each sharing their heart chakra with mine. So blessed and so truly grateful.

I was frustrated this afternoon mainly due to being tired and hormonal. Still these robust little people were kind to apologise and listen. A lesson for me to be more mindful in reactions and also a time for me to realise what I am teaching my children. We aren’t perfect in any way, and don’t want them to be either. I am showing them ways to grow into good humans with many qualities $$ can’t buy. One for instance was a quick lesson in communication! We can better that one too!

No matter what you have got or presented, see it as a good thing. A lesson in life and it is your choice whether you work with it or against it. There is a catch to the phrase”won’t happen overnight but it will happen”. It sure does get better in time it is up to you how quick you wish it to pass. I am fortunate to have braved many storms and sailed through and still have sails afloat. Many storms to come yet but I know with my growing strength I can work with them to only improve my life and better it too.

Don’t you see? This life is a gift and we can make it what we intend, it is having some faith and maybe some good old elbow grease to get it to where we want it. I am looking forward to the future, and seeing my children grow with new storms for them. Fingers crossed they aren’t too rough! (Reminds me of the tornado dream from early this morning!!) Focus on good, work with the negative and live your life in the present with gratitude.

Bless you xx
