Anxiety

Oh, my sweet boy!

It’s Friday morning and I’m sitting in the school office. I haven’t been here in a while which is something that I’m SO thankful for.

Last year, I spent the majority of the year in the school and a huge portion of it, sitting in the office.

Judah has had a tough time with separation anxiety. It started in Kindergarten. Grade 1 was harder and Grade 2 was even worse. We’ve done lots of counselling and emotional “work” and this year has been a roller coaster of ups and downs.

One thing that I’m SO very thankful for is that there have been more ups than downs this year.

I get discouraged because this has been such a long process, and if I’m being honest, I just want things to be normal……whatever that is.

But, things are getting better and this is the first time that I’ve sat here in the office, in a long time.

We’re all tired and ready for Spring Break and the down time.

But today, I’m SO thankful for the forward progress that we’ve made this school year.

What are you thankful for?

  1. Today, I am thankful for being brave enough to let my 16 year old, who just got his “L” in the last month, drive me to the Bottle Depot and back. We also went for a treat at DQ.
