I have had a sneaky suspicion that Johnathan had completed another growth spurt so got him to give me a hug and we measured and now he is as tall as me. 

You might just be wondering about why I have called this The Rolling Hills.  Well, the reason is because I wanted not ONLY to see a poem I’ve written but to help you see the beauty of the rolling hills and it’s the title of the poem.  

Well, what on earth can I pick out today?  I saw a television show where the husband was meant to go out and get people to come in and he just couldn’t do it. 

My very first thought was to write about holidays but I decided to talk about rest instead because each advert on either a series or program is about summer holidays.

Do you ever do silly things like drop something that you were going to use, or pick up something that you dropped it and it needed sorting out?

I was just thinking about the small things that make a huge difference in the life.  And mostly when it’s unexpected, makes all the positive.

I want to talk to you about being proud of your own achievements.  Now this may sound a little unlikely or untimely but I was thinking about it and how happy it can make you.

Oh yes, I wanted to talk to you about sickness or illness and someone on the spectrum.  Now it could be possible that they don’t have sensory issues but I must admit that Johnathan does. 

Masking is probably one of the most frustrating things for the parent or carer of a child on the spectrum.  The child may be in school or even nursery or kindergaden.

Do you know how difficult it can be getting the right person for the right job is?  It can be extremely hard, nearing impossible actually, for some things. 

As I use the cap more and more, I am discovering that I CAN do more things than I thought.  And it has been amazing thinking about how my life has changed.

Well, I am sure you have seen my posts on setting intentions for the year rather than having goals or words and that it worked really well for me last year (really only last year!).

Every year we try and see the New Year concert from Vienna on BBC 2 (If you missed it is available on iplayer).  And it’s something I look forward to all the time.

In the new years postings, so far I have been talking about the intention setting concept that I have (I think) mostly worked out. 

Well this is my first post of the new year and I trust and pray that we always know that somebody is there for us in our time of need, whether it be friend, carer, family member, teacher – it doesn’t really matter. 

Do you know I have done this 3 times!  It must just be one of those things today.  But it can be frustrating when you do think a post will be easy and it turns out to be the opposite of what you imagined.

I will say I can’t remember if I have ever told you this, but I seriously don’t remember EVER cooking a Christmas Dinner. 

I don’t know if you have ever had one of these, but they are there to help you through the night and as I use it more and more nights I can feel the oooh, I am beginning to notice a difference in me.

I don’t know about you but I often get antsy feelings.  And they are quite horrible because I know it means I need to do something. 

This last hospital trip where they sorted out the sleep apnea I think is what making a big difference to me.  I was actually forced to STOP writing for a few days because the seizures were simply taking too much OUT of me.
