Pre-Lenten Challenge: day 61 – Happy New year!

May your days start
Out with a smile and laughter
May your heart be happy
And full
May your past be behind you
And everything as new
As only you can do
May your mind be clear
And peaceful
Your feet firmly
On the ground
May you know how
Valuable and special
You are to have around
May you be blessed with all
Kinds of good things
Because you are deserving
Of it all

Pre-Lenten Challenge: day 63

Divine Mother
I think about ending 2021, not with a bang, but with gratitude. My year, my experience, though quiet and filled with solitude, brought me here – back to myself.
The nurturer in me, trying hard to nurture myself. As if I’ve had to become my own mother, mothering me. Where’s the divine in that? It’s in everything a mother does.
I’ve learned thus far, caring for me isn’t selfish. In reality, I’m a mother of fur-kids. It may be more possible and easier to be selfish when you’re single, and just have dogs and plants to look after. But it’s really not that easy.
I have ageing parents. And I’m still learning that balance. What can I do for them, what can I do for me? Questions that plague adult children caregivers, of ageing parents.
So here I am, as I attempt to gently go into 2022. Because that’s what a mother does: gently ushers her children into the new.
Many blessings folks, 🙏🏼 Sandi
