Greetings y'all :
Ha thought I forgot about you didn't ya? Well I was just a lazy bones this morning and had trouble dragging my carcass out of bed. I guess the joy of hearing my friend was ok and talking with her helped relax me a bit and reduce my stress. The joy of hearing from another friend with good nutritional info for man cub. The joy of seeing another friend falling in love with her kid. The joy of seeing a another friend come through a troublesome patch with a smile on her face and in her heart. The joy of having my son be so spot on good and loving helped reduce my stress. The joy of an energetic swim after work helped reduce my stress. Hey wait a minute I must've been stressed. I suppose I live my life like the duck on the pond, calm above the surface but paddling like crazy under the surface to stay afloat and move forward.
Yesterday was another amazing day in a series of amazing days! Zander was once a again on point ! We still really miss each other but next week I'll have my students and he'll have his new class and the reality of class work (gulp). He loves to learn and has a great teacher so let's see, no use worrying about it. We'll take it one day at a time . Today he's been brilliant if not a tad blue. He misses me. I felt sad but proud he was able to articulate that with our acting up !
He became quite jubilant when he got two packages from an angel. Junior mint has expressed a desire to learn how to knit. I have no experience with that but a wonderful friend sent him needles, yarn and a book to get him started. Talk about random kindness and a loving gesture! The boy is stoked to commence knitting . It will teach patience and following directions . Thank you for the thoughtful gift - you know who you are and you read this blog every day. He brought some yarn, a pair if needles and the book to his therapy and is getting the counselor to help him get started.
Folks not much left to say , sorry for the late post but not sorry I slept well. Do a random act of kindness and gratitude today. Even if it's a smile at a stranger. Let your light shine !

Very nice, Ken. So sorry you and Man Cub are missing each other but glad you found some stress relief.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jesse! We are spoiled by the amount of time we spend together.
DeleteKnitting is a great hobby! I don't know what he's planning on starting, but a winter scarf is a good place to begin. It's very soothing to just knit and purl row after row (if his book doesn't have a pattern, it's pretty simple to knit 3, purl 3 in a repetitive pattern until the scarf is as wide as he wants; then go in the opposite order for the next row - purl 3, knit 3, etc.) What fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great tip! I am surrounded by kind people!
