Finding joy
I sit here, early morning before the family wakes, coffee in hand, listening to music in my headphones and trying to write positive words. When I sit down to write this blog many posts just pour out of me complete, just needing the swear words removing; “Fucking kids”, “little shits”, negative stories of struggle and frustration. I am someone who has always tended to focus on the negative in life and so I find it all too easy to be negative about having kids. Objectively, it isn’t easy, but I do also want to write about the positives of having children, their smiles, their imaginations, their joy at life. Sitting around the dining table making up terrible homemade jokes or watching their faces as they discovering some new idea. I want to celebrate these moments in this blog, and I will… but I can hear my youngest shouting… I think he might have wet the bed again… so maybe I’ll finish this later…
