Whilst I was talking with someone about all the things that were going on in my life someone said to me “life’s not simple”. They were right. Life is not simple, it is complex and messy and confronting. It is also rapidly changing and sometimes downright scarey. But that is not all it is. It is also beautiful and awe inspiring; exhilarating and wonderous. The challenge is to notice those moments too. I wonder how you would feel if you can turn off the news, stop reading the paper, make your favourite drink, find a quiet spot and sip.
Take the time to find the simplicity, notice the beautiful. I did it mum!
It has now been 9 days since one of my children set out to master the Rubik's cube. In my blog on the 26/2/17 I wrote about perseverance and the steps they were taking to achieve their goal. It is fantastic to see them achieve their goal. During their journey they have even managed to teach their mother the first few steps. I look forward to using their success as an example next time they experience frustration or voice the fact they can't do something. You will find an infographic about this below. |
