Twice in the last couple of weeks I've waved my son off on adventures - today with school, last week with cubs. Both times I've had the most amazing goodbye cuddles ever. I spend so much time wondering if I'm doing it ok, this difficult task of parenting, the sometimes impossible task of loving when I'm tired and not at my best, when I'm grumpy and things aren't going Well At All. Then there are moments when I'm able to briefly rest of my laurels and concede I'm doing alright. We love each other and that's enough.
I'm a bit late to this Take That song, but heard it on the radio today and love this:
"This is the life we've been given, so open your heart and start loving, we can make a start if we only learn to listen" A couple of my friends are over in Berlin for a marathon, living life to the full despite facing inoperable cancer. Their hearts are open, with the lives they've been given.
Hope you too can recognise today that you, and your love, are enough :)
