So you don't have to worry about admiring other people, we are admiring you!

I often tell my children we are not perfect and that that's okay. When I feel ashamed of being grumpy or snapping when my patience tires, I know the heartfelt apology that follows is also teaching my children to be brave and accept when they are less than perfect. I've also become easier on myself as I've got holder. I don't place such high expectations on myself and what I achieve. I don't compare myself quickly to others, but accept that we all have our own unique strengths, as well as weaknesses, and take time to acknowledge, praise and admire others for their uniqueness. No one is immune to difficulties, but those trying times come in waves. Some people are riding on the crest of the wave with everything going their way for a while, but the tide is forever changing and when they fall off that crest, it is then when others, who are on top of the world, must be there to help and support them along. I enjoyed your open, honest writing, thank you :) x So true. I often tell my children we are not perfect and that that’s okay.
