"From your child with special needs: "I know that I am different and I've asked you to look at the world in a whole new way. I believe in you because you believe in me." HOPELights♥
Time does not stand still, we have but one day to see, experience and embrace the challenges that we have. All we can do is take one minute , one hour , one day at a time.
No two days are the same. With Faith one day she may be in high spirits the next she may awake because of nightmares, or anxiety. Or school may be a challenge, friends may be a challenge. Life in general.
Each day is an opportunity to find the positive out of a day that may be full of cobwebs and dust and find the sun shine down on you so you may feel the warmth on your face and smile, because we need to appreciate every moment . It may be a good day or a bad day. Each moment with our kids teaches us and them to appreciate every moment we have with them and we have the choice to capture the moments in a good way although it may drain us with the challenges they face.
One day at a time to show them as well to live life to the fullest, no matter what kind of day you may wake to. That the sun will shine, the stars will glow and that a new day will dawn where we can start all over again and nothing is the end of the world.
We have to teach them that the mistakes from yesterday are gone and each day is a new day to start a fresh and it is up to us to decide if we are going have awesome moments or unhappy moments.
Our lives will be a reflection of theirs. The way we handle life, love, laughter, they will take in. We need to teach them to see that even just seeing a flower blossom after a bad day , is a day to be thankful for. That we always need to find something each and every day to be thankful for, no matter how we feel or they feel. If we teach them to think on a more positive way, there minds will eventually think that way and they will be happier more wholesome individuals.
I always ask faith how her day was and i tell her if you tell me a negative thing about your day, you also have to think of a positive thing that happen today regardless how small.
It is the small things that keep us going through the darkest times. The hug, the sms of kind words, the sweet whisper of i love you.
Don't let little things get you down.
You've got many big reasons to look up
To God and say thanks.
It's going to be a great day.
