Parenting Stress...

“Oh, I’m just so frustrated! I wish I could just come home and we could be a ‘normal’ family. I know that sounds bad but it’s true! Parenting a child with ADHD is hard frick’n work and some days I wonder if I’m the worst parent ever!”

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tuesday November 24, 2009

It is this time of year when we are reminded to be thankful for all we have in our lives. We are more aware of the importance of expressing our warm gratitude to friends and loved ones. Now and especially throughout the year whenever life seems to feel more stressed take some time to think about all the things that make you feel happy and appreciative. Jot down a quick list and include both the small things like chocolate kisses and the big things like the people who love you.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." --Melody Beattie
