Smile

It should not be difficult to smile but if we are honest- sometimes it just is. Responsibilities, rote activities of daily living, stress and time demands slowly erode our joy. Instead of enjoying the lives we lead we begin to think the grass is really always greener- but it is not.
Just smile!

When you look back at your life and compare your challenges to others you invariably will choose your life. This week was a rough week for me and my family. Every day there seemed to be a new obstacle. A new angel in my teen’s life said relax- it is just not that serious. She reminded me to smile. Although she doesn’t know it- she reminded me to take a moment for myself without guilt. For my fellow ASD families who struggle like I sometimes do-take a breather.

ONE Day at a time
ONE Minute at a time
Sometimes ONE second at a time
