It has been a while since my last post.  The reason for this is that my son has been through a major operation or two which threw a major curve ball to me and my family.   Thankfully he is now out of danger but he will require a number of further operations down the track.  The next one in March.  He has only just turned 7 so you can imagine how worrying it is when they are so small and frightened. 

I can’t begin to tell you how much I have learned from this little boy.  He has handled everything with the strength and poise of someone much much older than his years.  He has taught me how to smile in the face of fear and how to trust that everything will be OK.  He was in so much pain but was more concerned about other kids in his ward than himself.  He was concerned that mummy (me) didn’t have a proper bed to sleep in and moved over so I could share his.

How many of us could take a lesson from this little boy in today’s economic and environmental climate?  Maybe if we all started thinking of others and smiling in the face of fear – rather than letting it consume our every thought – then our collective energy may just shift a notch or two.  I know it certainly would towards those we love.

Something to think about….
