This day I've detached from my girls.... and looked at myself.
It's easier to breath, and think.
Accepting they have their own paths, and I have mine... the only one I can really impact, is a relief.
I might rest a bit, then finish this fing paperwork. Just focusing on STUFF is easier when I allow my head to empty all the things I can't control, IME.
Zen is an elusive thing, IME.

Ooh, Lighter, that is a big step! Standing back and watching them flourish - lovely picture in my head now. And now another of you setting fire to paperwork - wouldn't that be amazing :) Lol. Zen is a great and enviable state to be in. Emptying the head is much harder than it sounds (for me, anyway). I hope the breathing carries on being easy :) xx

Well, there's some flourishing, and some floundering for the girls right now. For all of us, but we're working on ourselves.
I have to move the truck full of legal paperwork currently stored in the house. It has to go.... very bad juju.
I'm just skipping the overwhelmed part, and letting it be. I'll get to it, and I'll handle it. I always do.

Are you literally getting rid of it all, Lighter, or shifting it somewhere else? I agree, it adds a bad air to the home. My sitting room is essentially an office with a sofa in it rather than a lounge. There is a large bookcase full of files and boxes of papers. There are two laptops, an external hard drive, a printer/scanner/photocopier and then all the usual things you need to go with that - paper, envelopes, pens and pencils, a box of wires that I don't really know what to do with but I don't want to throw them away in case they do attach to something and I've just forgotten. There are lists on the wall of things to do, things to check and various things that link together in different groups depending on which aspect of son's care we are battling over at the present time. I'm getting on with some stuff now that needs to be done but isn't urgent. I tend to leave the non-urgent stuff until it becomes urgent, because I resent the time I have to spend on it and so put it off until I can't leave it any longer. So I'm trying to get a bit ahead of the game now and make myself do an hour a day on the non-urgent bits - if I stick to it by the time the next lot of complaints come back I should be up to date and only have them to deal with. I also need to start organising assessments for the autumn and should start doing that now as people get booked up well in advance. But I long for the day when this is all done, all behind us and I can scan everything, condense the whole file to one key or disk or cloud or whatever is used at that point and then burn the bloody lot. God, I will take pleasure in burning that lot!
Flourishing and floundering is part of the ebb and flow, and it's the part I find difficult. I think not having anything to steady against when I was younger means the floundering part was difficult for me - it felt very scary. But we've given our kids stronger foundations so they will flounder but get through it and then get to the flourishing part again :)
Let us know what you do with all the paperwork! You might give me some ideas :) Lol xx
