Birth Day

Six years
Have the last three been harder than the first three?
Easier?
Better to know, or not to know?

To Know.
To address the issues.
Learn.
Support the strengths.
Build on them.
Use visual supports.
Address the deficits.
Clarify expectations.
Don't blame -- them or me.
Calm down.
Breathe deeply.

Six years.
Time to celebrate the progress.
Celebrate them, celebrate us.
Be grateful for our resources, our knowledge, our support networks.
Don't fear the future.
Embrace the present.
Calm down.
Breathe deeply.
Be.
