I don’t know if you’ve noticed from my writing. but I believe that having friends is a very important part of life.

This has been quite an interesting week in some respects. Some of it has been funny, some hard, and other times I have found life totally overwhelming.

Well, this morning I woke needing to go to the bathroom.  Then I realised Kevin was still in bed and it was 8.10 in the morning. 

Today one of my friends that I hadn’t seen or spoken to for a number of years, messaged me to let me know that she’s sadly been diagnosed with cancer. 

This week Johnathan has been having the October holiday.  I think it’s the same as a half term holiday in the England schools. 

Well, that’s quite a negative title for me.  But you can see it’s true.  They just don’t. 

Yes, faith in yourself, and in others.  Because they are two different sides of the same coin.

I was watching or listening to something that asked the question and I began to think about the many ways we have faith and what we have faith in.

You know, we have to think of our children but the way we do so is key.  As Johnathan continues to grow and develop, the way ew parent him changes. 

I want to talk about reading. It is an important skill that is important to teach and the importance of learning to do so. 

I’ve been thinking about relationships lately.  Sometimes do you get on well with someone instantly? 

Well, I don’t make things as the month of October reminds me of my six children in heaven and just how grateful I am that Johnathan is here.

I don’t know if you have ever noticed but it happens to me, time and again with both Kevin and Johnathan.

As some of you have probably realised, I was born before electronic games really took off in the world.  The games were (to me anyway) painfully slow and annoying. 

Have you ever thought of things that make you laugh and just WHY they do?  I just had an advert on the tv with which gave me the this idea for a post.

Although I have known Johnathan was autistic since he was about 4 months old and only moved on his back in circles.

I think I’ve told you before - or have I?  That at one point in my early life I wanted to explore more.  And every now and again I did, but not for long.

When you have expectations not only the ones you put on yourself, but the ones others believe have on you. 

I was just wondering if they are the same and would BE the same if they are big or small. 

I smile when I think about this because there are SO MANY we have in life and meeting someone who has completely different expectations can cause some funny moments.
