Courageous
“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.”
It is exhausting is it not! As parents it seems our brains are always on the go. Even when I go to bed at night I am thinking what the next day will hold and how I must plan the day, her routine. The way we say bye every day at aftercare/ If we do it wrong or the routine gets disrupted, that's it ,she is anxious or upset the whole day. The way we put her to bed, lamp light on, calm CD on, kiss good night and hope she has a restful night. The energy levels still high after a long day and you wish you could have 5% extra just to keep up with them running around as if they just woke up.
You Sit down and feel all overwhelmed a bit and need just a chance to breathe and have a time out to try and get your mind right again. Then your child, your child that has this ADHD, this child that has GAD, this child that struggles and needs routine and exhausts you cause you have to be positive all the time, and you feel sometimes it can get too much. Your child comes to you and says
" Mom, Dad just wanted to say i love you, you guys are the best."
And you get the biggest squeeze ever like they breaking your bones , and they smile and you smile and some how you do breathe once more and you find the courage like a quiet voice inside you to do this all again tomorrow.
The Gift - Our Kids teach us to be courageous for them.
