Friday began my holiday time off. The next few days will be busy. I wanted time to refill my patience before the flurry of activity. My son has autism and ocd. He struggles on holidays like Christmas where his favorites places are closed. He does not understand. It makes the days more challenging as he finds his balance in spite of not being able to do all his routines. Thus today I took time to replenish my well being. Then I will be better prepared to help him with his. I walked a couple times: once alone, once with Mom and my dogs. The day blurred by in activities. However, I refilled what I needed too! I wrote a few lines about dealing with frustrations and patience.
She refuses
Excuses
Bitterness drives;
Ghosts build fences
Compassion cries,
"Why;"
If she releases her reflections
Will their silence survive?
