Parents

I am blessed. I have the best Parents.

Seeing my Parents, talking to my Parents brings me Joy.

Parents defined as “the people who bring up and care for a child/ children”.

Being Parents mean “you take care of your child, you are a provider, you are a protector, you love your child, you are a counsellor and a confidant, you are a teacher, you are a role model

I have so many great memories of my Parents and in the remembering I am Joyful. I love the memories of all my Mum and Dad did for me growing up and even how they have helped me as an adult. I love that my Parents are my children’s Nana and Papa.

My Parents have modelled to me how to be the best Parents.

I saw my Parents today and even though I didn’t stay long I felt Joyful just seeing them, seeing how much they love each other and are there for each other.

I have really enjoyed making them meals and taking them over to them.

I love seeing them at their home. I love my Parents. They mean everything to me. I want to make sure I organise the best 90^th Birthday for my Dad as I want it to be a special occasion for my Parents and for our family.

I Choose Joy

Today is Mother’s Day 2020 - I love being a Mum and I love celebrating special occasions with my beautiful family - I am blessed.

As a Mum there is so much to do and so much to get done. As a Mum I am on a Mission to be the best Mum I can be - this is what is most important to me. I do love the word Mission, defined as “an important goal or purpose that is accompanied by strong conviction”.

Today I am setting a simple Mission for the year ahead - to be Joyful or Joy Filled.

I love the word Joyful, defined as “experiencing, causing or showing Joy”. I also love the idea of Joy Filled - where the word Fill means “to make, to become full, to use empty space”, and Joy means “delight, pleasure, happiness” and to be filled with Joy means “to be extremely happy, content, to be delighted”.

I love when you feel Joy - it is felt in the heart - it lights you up and warms your heart and creates an imprint in our memory.

I will be actively choosing and pursuing Joy, and deliberating creating Joy to colour our days and nights.

I am making a commitment to write 100 posts over the next one year, two per week, as an opportunity to record my thoughts, insights, discoveries. This is my journey and I write these posts to be the best Mum I can be - it is not intended to give advice - it is my brave process and adventure, and this Blog is about keeping me accountable too.

I am actively going to pursue Joy Starters and be conscious of, and proactive with, the Joy Robbers. And I want to teach my children the importance of Joy too. I really want my children to be happy and Joyful, where each night as we go to sleep we are at peace.

I am hoping that when I reach Mother’s Day 2021, I will look back on the year and really feel that it was Joyful, and that in this process I learn new tips and tricks for my life.
