Life is a Mountain, Not a Beach?
All has been more or less well around here. We are just still working and the kdis ar back in school, so that is always a good thing. There is always the usual homework, activities, and 8.30 bedtime.There is something going on here that really hit me hard the other day. Due to the fact that a lot of the kids have come from different backgrounds and situations, sometimes they have a lot on their plate. The other day one of my girls told me that she had been caught for cutting herself, and would be moving the section in which she would be living. And she was telling me because she was not happy and no one understood her, and then she seemed to be looking at me for some type of solution, which made me feel so dumb. On the spot, and I had no idea what to tell her or how to comfort her to feel better. If I have not even found what makes me happy or how to obtain at least being content in life, with all that I have and all that I have had the ability to do, how in the world am I supposed to give this girl any advice?? And we all pass through life feeling like no one can possibly understand all the burdens that we carry, perhaps not always and for the entirety of our life, but it is at least a touch and go feeling. SO, I remained blank, and nothing good to say at all. I am still trying to think of what I can say to her, but I do not feel that I will be having any revelations any time soon. . . . .
