It really touched me. I have nothing to offer you other than a sympathetic ear (eye?) and a prayer... I admire you greatly for what you do here, at home, and at work. Love your creative talent, which is why I subscribe to your blog. I need the inspiration! To have you share some insight of your "typical" day is heartwarming, and further inspiring. My life is nothing compared to yours, yet I constantly bypass my "me time" due to exhaustion, stress, lack of motivation (mostly lack of motivation). Moving forward I will tell myself, "If JoLynn can find time to do it, I can, too!" <BR/><BR/>Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712793023385252183.post-71408979294524203592008-05-16T22:36:00.000-05:002008-05-16T22:36:00.000-05:00I can identify with how you are feeling here in so...I can identify with how you are feeling here in so many ways, and yet most people would think my life is "typical" and my kids "typical" too. I completely understand when you say "you need to drink in the fact that there is Peace and Quiet at some point of my day"! I stay up way too late for the same reason! I have two boys, 3 years old and 6 years old. I cannot compare my life to yours, since I cannot imagine the complexities of raising an autistic child, but I think the truth is that there are no "typical" lives or "typical" children. We all have our own unique challenges and unique responses to those challenges! I hope it is alright that I responded to this, something in what you wrote touched me and I kept thinking about you since I read this two nights ago. <BR/>Hugs, DeenaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
