Special Mom’s blog

For this link I am going to answer with Sadje’s Sunday Poser #158

The question was posted Sunday for me and for the past few days I have been thinking about it. I get teased by my husband that I am hyperactive and I do make him active too. Yes, I try to live my living life mindfully. I have learnt not to obsess with it, but I try to do somethings in a particular day that makes not only my life but my special boy’s life feel purposeful. There are days, when my boy can be in a bad mood and those are the hardest days.

Even on those hard days, I try to do something purposeful for both of us. As the weather changes, his mood swings increases and we have seen over the past many years. I try to distract myself and him with activities that we somehow manage to accomplish something. These maybe the days, I cannot take him out into the community or do things that I normally would do. We may just be sitting at home but I see to it that I use this opportunity to relax in front of the TV and get him involved in tasks that I break into much smaller pieces. Even, if one piece of work is done and I get myself relaxed, I call it a victory. Yes, I would say even on that bad mood day, I try to do mindful activities.

It is very easy to fall of the mindful wagon and loathe myself in self pity and feel bad for my special boy. I do not want to exist. I want to live. So that is one of the hardest personal goal I have set myself.
