Allowing

When your heart is singing, you are allowing Well-being. When you are appreciating, you are allowing Well-being. When you are yelling at somebody, you're not. When you're feeling insecure, you're not. When you're frustrated, you're not.

I had a little of both today, but for sure more singing than the other. 

It was my day to choose the parking space and I drove around and parked in different spaces! I parked in the very farthest space and I parked in a closer one.  I just kept parking in different spots and Kate would say whether it was close or too far.  So I picked one, not too close and she walked in with me.  Yay! 

Kate's cognitive coach Toni came out and said she wrote letters easier today.  I agreed because she just wrote and M in Uma's name and it seemed easy to her.  M has been a really hard letter for her to write, not sure where to start and which way to go first.  Anyway, that was cool that Toni confirmed it.  And, Toni said that she didn't tell Kate to do it a certain way, it was just that Kate did it on her own.  Cool.  Her brain certainly is being turned on, today it felt like the front right part of her forehead.

We again went to Jumpin' Jacks and met some new friends from BB there.  A mom and her 4 year old son.  We had fun so we went to the park after too.  Kate actually played with him!!  And he was leading Kate around by the arm and she seemed ok with it.  They were running up and down the hill and talking with some other kids.  Fun! Kate totally loved this remote control plane that a guy was flying.  She asked him how much it was and he said $300!  Yikes.  That one will be a while.  But, she was so excited by it and she said that she would like to fly one.

When we got home she was pretty tired.  We struggled through the exercises (see frustrated above, hehe) and then she flopped in bed.  We are reading the book Which Witch.  She is loving it!  After, I asked her if she would like some Reiki and she said yes.  So I played some relaxing music and worked on her a bit, especially her head and legs.  She fell asleep and I was feeling so appreciative (see above, hehe).  Just complete gratitude for this day and these experiences(all of them) that I am so lucky to be having.  And then I find the above quote in my inbox.  Perfect.
