Acceptance (Update)

The stirrings of a new day in early March. Snow on the ground but the birds are singing fiercely. I think that Spring might be on its way.

Talking to my family this morning, planning the upcoming reunion, which is happening for us all next week in far away lands, I become excited. 

Renewal is in the air.

Update:

Transcribed recordings of things I said into my IPhone Voice Memos App. early this morning as I drove to work - sun shining, snow melting, and roads clear of traffic:

Early childhood education for me is not about whether I am a good parent or not - no! - it is about what I know now after experience and education - what is good for very young children. That's what it's about - oh yeah!

Well, I once had a dream. I dreamed I'd take my son and me and we'd go to America and make a new life - full of hope and promise and opportunity. [sigh] - and I think the dream has been realised for me ... The dreams I had for me and my child are just for me. My child has to make his own dreams.

ainelivia, I so enjoy my IPhone that I cannot imagine it frustrating anyone. I wish you well to use it, if and when you finally decide to.:-)

Thank you, both ainelivia and sky for your support. I suppose you can tell that I am struggling a bit lately regarding my past parenting skills.

i agree with you totally. we have our dreams and children have theirs. too many parents want their children to live their parental dreams, especially those dreams which were never realized during their own lives. :(

your dedication to your work is apparent in your blog posts and on FB. it is exciting to involve ourselves in work which brings such reward.

This is wonderful Tamar, you are a parent (and a person) who understands that the best way, the best journey is the one we make for ourselves, and you learned this along your way.

see you got to grips with technology, my Christmas iPod is still in it's box; it's only had one outing, and frustrated me so much, I nearly sold it on Ebay, but I'm not giving up, yet. Oh no.
