zen report

currently; definitely experiencing a period of zen.

re: the last period of un-zen; it seems like i should've been able to take into account the fact that he was going through physical troubles*, instead of angsting and going crazy. btu i couldn't? even though i knew this was an unusual time for him and therefore a temporarily difficult period.

it just speaks to my limitations as a human being. but i'm glad it's passed for now.. let's see how i do for the next one if/when it comes.


*he definitely was! even looking through our photos... we went through a month and a half without sharing any of our photos, cos he was so troubled-looking in all of them. distant, internally preoccupied, kind of blue looking, while still going through all the motions of play. the poor boy.. what must have been happening inside his little body.

I love reading your blog Jacynth! I don't get the chance to jump on here as often as I would like, but I think you are so reflective and thoughtful. Your posts show such self analysis, and you type out what many of us think and feel so frequently!

Parenting is intense, and some of us have more intense kids than others, and some of us parent more intensely than others. I could write so much in response to the last few posts of yours, and maybe I will when I get more than 5 seconds LOL, but I would also love to see you IRL sometime soon to discuss in person (you are always such fun to be around!).

Ok, off to bed!
