I have found that connection is the key – to myself, my children, family and friends. It has taken a long time to reach this place but I am thoroughly content. When we accept ourselves as ‘enough’ and embrace continued learning as a positive way of moving forward, we accept change more readily and see our ‘mistakes’ as lessons. Owning our mistakes is key too; my 7 year old son recently said to me after I apologised for an unnecessary grump I had had, “It’s ok Mummy, none of us is perfect.”
I love the Dalai Lama quote, we have it stencilled on our lounge wall.

Made me stop and think when did I start to be judgemental about myself. I couldn’t remember. That’s how long. When I worked, I felt it wasn’t a good enough job. When I quit, I felt guilty and envious of working friends. It goes on. Yea Louise, enough, seriously. Only when I stop to think I realise what an energy sucker it is. Thanks for reminding.
