Save the world?.... Not me, I just wash and go!
My writing skills ( as limited as they are) are totally failing me today. But 2 things i don't want to forget.
1) Looking for the silver lining - When DLD was sick last week and we had so much to do, it could have been dreadful. But by cancelling my obligations (such as they are!) the whole day was turned around for good, and actually the people i was "helping" really and trully didn't lack for me not being there.
DH pulled a muscle in his back, again really unhelpful given all we had planned, yet the upshot was he slowed down, didn't try to achieve too much and spent some lovely time ith his son and ME! Ok the garden isn't returfed, the house isn't perfect, but some jobs have been done and we got through all our other pressures without adding more to it.
2) Over the last 2 weeks we/I have felt so loved and supported in the challenge we chose, but on speaking to some of our lovely friends and family they have been concerned about what they haven't done. I would be the same.
BUT it has been so freeing to realise that all the BITS people DID do, within their own busy lives, was fantastic and all added together to make our care package. Its helped me think that I don't have to save the world, I just have to do the little I do and it hopefully adds together to make a whole.
Hmmmm........
So the message to me appears to be "Save the world? not necessary.... just do your bit and go"
