struggles

transition change growth love
All things happen the way they are meant to...
All is good. : ) We are all learning all the time!
Maybe it's been the long winter-
I've had monster moments too. : (
It's called just being human.
But I find it kinda sad
when the kids behaves better than I do...
wah!
LOL I find when I am a monster,
more creative thinking is in order.
Being a single parent,
I miss that other adult to balance me out.
Rose Petals.
I've just realized
that my son used to
always come play right beside me
(for a decade!),
and now he is more connected
with things that are not transportable,
like the computer, TV, and video games.
He is big on Technology Learning this year,
and I've needed to adjust to that.
I am finding/realizing that
I will feel happier with everything,
if I can bring my work to where he is.
And coincidentally, I seem more interested
in transportable handwork techniques!
Kind of a role reversal.
It's like they predicted-
you spend years pushing your kids away,
only to spend the rest of your life
chasing after them.
LOL
Now I've known that,
and really tried to enjoy
every moment of my child,
but I admit the boy energy,
& the growing up,
has at times really thrown me for a loop.
I'm really conscious
that I want to be right there,
and aware of our relating
as he goes through his teens.
This means a lot of creativity in our lives.
This is what we both seem to thrive on.
Him in his direction, and me in mine.
And if I can get him on the spinning wheel,
and he can get me to screen capture
a Super SMash Brothers Brawl,
then we can share our passions,
creativity and zest for life.
What more could one want? : )
