Rising open mind kids and handling the Pain #3

I am trying to rise my kids to be self confident and open minded. Because they had color week in daycare last week, we have been playing with colors as well. We colored the coloring books with Frozen team trying to make it as accurate as possible. We have been actually discussing what is the color of the skin. And my daughter came with interesting answers. And I am very happy for that because when I was small I would answer differently. So she has chosen from her pencils which colors fit the best.


That's her answer selected from our pencils. She also took the pink pencil because our cheeks turn sometimes reddish and pink as well. But we agreed that this is approximately what the basic skin color looks like. What do you think about it?

Anyway the weekend was on the pain wave. I was taking one painkiller after another, and using sleeping pills to reduce the amount of the pain. I am really frustrated from this life. Kids wanted to go out and I was hardly existing. I am not sure how long I can keep this. I have always so many plans for the weekend what I want to do with kids and it turns into just aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggg.  We have been hardly outside to play with probably last snow. I was planning to teach my older kid to ski this winter and the winter is generally almost over. I do not want to leave the stuff for the next time or later because it is never sure it will ever happen.

I am recently feeling that I am pulling everyone down. I am pulled down as well. It is never ending story. I feel bad so I am angry, somebody else is sad or tired so let's made me feeling bad as well. The circle. I would be so happy that some people would start to understand the responsibility for their own feelings and how not to pull down the other people.  

Anyway, try to be kind to your own body. It is not trying to hurt you. This is something with what I have actually problem to agree. The pain is not a purpose to treat us badly. That I understand. The pain is just present. Try to observe your feelings and thoughts. It is important to take control above that. Change it. If I feel bad, I will try to focus my mind on something else. Ok, I am in the pain so I am trying to study the topic and write about it. I am putting part of the pain in these letters. To put the focus on something else helps to handle the pain. I have read an advice that we need to shift the attention from the hurting part of your body to the part which is healthy and focus on it. Ok, if you can hardly move, try to focus in breathing. If you cannot breathe call an ambulance :-).

The only thing what remain is to accept the situation. It is not our fault, we didn't choose to suffer, but we can choose how to live. I choose to enjoy my life with my kids :-).


Please enjoy your time with your kids. Time flies far too quickly. I can only hope that the pain wave will be over soon. 

Have a nice day!!
