I can't actually believe it, but God has granted us a reprieve from the craziness of ADHD for a few days! I don't know why or how, but my house has been amazingly calm. What a gift! Of course, if everything is going so well, what do I have to blog about?
Recognizing and enjoying these pauses, for one. It's so easy to get used to constantly being in crisis-mode--whatever that means for you and your family--that it's easy to overlook the fact that there is not crisis every day. There truly are great days and when a few are strung together, it should be cause for celebration. Instead, I often find myself living in fear, waiting for the other shoe to drop--usually a call from school.

I recently joined a group called Grace in Small Things. I get e-mails from them and inevitably when I read them it takes me out of my own little world and helps me to remember that my life has been abundantly blessed. The little hiccups that ADHD puts in front of us have been just that so far--and THAT is something to be thankful for.
