My autistic son started work experience at a local radio station last week. He's made some new friends and at the end of the course he's going to get his picture in the paper to publicise it :)

Take a couple of minutes to notice your breathing
Sense the flow of the breath and ...
The rise and fall of your belly

He now sits on front seat next to me when I'm driving.

I would love to get a huge 4' teddy instead to sit next to me when I'm driving!!

I do the belly breathing a lot.

I also take adult colouring books with me for investigations or operations.. really takes my mind off tjings and keeps my blood pressure nice and low..

Today's cat quote ..

Recognise that thoughts are simply thoughts , you don't need to believe them to react to them x

Heard that last week and is very true. I got told that thoughts aren't real but our actions from them can be..... take good, positive actions to make the reality a good outcome!!

Here are two of the things that I am grateful for today

The beautiful snowdrops pushing through the ground in our local country park
A giggly telephone call from one of my friends

There are many, many more things which were unexpected gifts today.

We have snowdrops and aconites (small yellow crocus-like flowers) out already and hellebores, crocus & narcissi well on the way. Everything's a bit late this year, because of the cold weather, but it's a lovely spring-like day today, which is a reason to be cheerful :).
