Greatfulness post:

Today as I’m reflecting on the last blog posts I’ve made I thought I’d make a post about some positive notes

First of all I woke up today feeling super optimistic as I feel like things can really only go in my favour. When I think about the accusations against me I can’t help but realize that there is not one person who could possibly say a negative word about my interactions with my children. Am I a perfect mom no. Do I lose my temper more than I’m proud of yes. Do I yell uhh ya 😳. However here’s the thing these are things that every parent on earth are guilty of and child services has to know that. I’m not emotionally verbally or any other form of abusive to my children. In fact my house is usually the house where all the neighborhood kids seem to congregate. My ex would have to be lying to say he’s ever seen me abuse one of my children during our time together and honestly any person in HIS family would have to say the same. It’s just not who I am.

Because I woke up feeling so good about my situation I have to first praise myself for all the hard work I’ve done this past week to get to where I am now with my mental health. I have set goals and intentions for everyday. Knowing that boredom is a huge trigger for me I went and scheduled my weeks, with activities to fill my and kids time. I have gone back to being outdoors more (this is when I blog). I have also taken up yoga as a way to mediate/relax/exercise /get out of the house alone.

On top of all the work I’ve done for myself I need to give my gratefulness to all the people who have helped me get here. The most important being my neighbour who sat up one night making a list of ways she could help me. Then after that just meeting for coffee and convos daily which led me to realize the biggest reason for my blues lately. Without her I’m pretty sure I’d still feel hopeless.

There has been many others too that have just spent quality time with me this week. Making it easier to keep my mind off the negative and look at the future with hope. Everyone who knows me as a mom who reached out to me to let me know that I am a good mom, well you will never know how much that means to me to hear. Especially when it feels like two too many 😉 people are saying I’m not.

You guys are the reason I’m smiling today!
