Dissonance

Summer is over and school has started.  We've yet to hit our rhythm.  This is an adjustment period.  Adjusting is hard work.  We're all tired and cranky.  I wish I could be more like the cream that floats to the top of the jar and rise above the fray, but I'm not.  I'm not at my parenting best right now.  I'd like to be, but I don't seem to know where to find the mojo.  There have been a number of times in my parenting journey where I have felt this way.  It is completely awful.  Ideally I'd have endless reserves of patience and understanding.  In the perfect world I would never raise my voice or lose my temper.  But I don't seem to live there right now.

So many of you have always been an inspiration to me; and while I had no choice but to take a break from my blogging life for awhile, I have missed you all.  I cannot predict what will come down the pike, but I sincerely hope to be back here more and to check in with those of you whose wisdom, kindness and spirit have moved me and inspired me to be the parent I want to be, instead of the one I sometime am.

This life of ours is a odd journey with many twists and turns and bumps in the road.  Don't get me wrong there are some fabulous pastures and stunning views along the way, but the road ahead seems to be just out of sight and we don't seem to know where we're going.   Changes are happening fast and furious.  And we all have a lot of adjusting to do. 


Wishing you all peace and understanding as you make your own way.

Namaste,
Anna
