Today’s little slice
of “happitude” is...
Arriving back from holiday to my fabulous parents...
I'm so blessed
to have such loving and supportive folks!
I’m a fairly independent person... I like to
come and go as I please and do things in my own time and whatnot... But
whenever I’m trying to deal with big change or uncertainty in my life, or if I
just need to get back to neutral, I go home to my folks.
After a lovely holiday full of adventures and
plenty of fun there was nothing better than stepping out of the airport into a
big hug from my Dad. He’s my hero despite all the things that we disagree on
and all the things that we’ve done to disappoint one another. And my Mom really
is the very best. She and I have had our fair share of fights and arguments but
at the end of the day I know that I can go to her with almost any problem and
she’ll do whatever she can to help me make it okay.
I came home and told my folks all about my day
of self reflection on the beach and I asked them just to give me their thoughts
and opinions. Most people my age wouldn’t really be bothered with letting their
parents into their personal decisions the way I do on so many occasions. But
for some reason, talking to my folks and hearing what they have to say gives me
a sense of clarity that I just don’t get anywhere else. Hearing them say, “We’ll
love and support you no matter what you decide”, never gets old and always
gives me the final push I need to actually go ahead and make a decision.
They are a blessing and a treasure and I am
grateful for them every day.
