A Welcome Weather Change.
And some motherly thoughts.
After months of rain, wind and snow, we are transitioning to warmer weather.
I took a long walk a few days ago, basking in the sun while still wearing my winter jacket. It felt good! I’ve missed these walks, hindered by the weather, time constraints, and illness.
I’ve not been as sick in years, as I have been during the last two years.
I now take extra vitamin C every day to prevent further sick days. The last time I fell ill, my manager gave me a lengthy lecture, causing me to contemplate whether to call in sick. However, I could barely stand on my own two feet.
Regardless, I’m looking forward to whatever this year brings.
My children — or rather, young adults — are gradually moving towards independence, one step at a time. Witnessing them making decisions that could benefit or harm them is scary.
As their mother, my instinct is to intervene and guide them on their path.
I push this thought to the back of my mind, knowing that one day, they will leave home and lead their own lives, and there’s nothing I can do about it.
