song in my head

I'm often amazed at how some of the highest highs and lowest lows of parenting can occur within the same hour. A highlight of last night was the discussion we had over dinner about mental health issues, how common they can be and some of the names people get called that arise as part of the oppression. I won't go into the downs - I'm aware that any of my children's friends could read this and so try to be thoughtful about what I post. I went through all my blogs the other day to check I'd not used their names and was surprised at how many times I had and so changed them for daughter etc.

Cheese for a late supper last night and so plenty of dreams that I now can't recall except for not being able to remember what hakuna matata meant. So I've looked it up this morning and it's "no worries". Does that mean I was struggling to remember how to not worry? The song in my head this morning tho, bizarrely, is Christmas Bells. An interesting day then?! Hope yours is!

Interested to note today the difference our mood makes. Last Tuesday I also had a slow journey into work - last week I was feeling grumpy so was irritated by other drivers and felt the world was against me. Today I was feeling really good about my new change at work and full of confidence, singing along with the radio at the top of my voice, and didn't mind the lorry one bit. Hope you find whatever it takes to keep your spirit bright and singing out loud :D (if that's your thing. If not, whatever is your thing.)
