You did good.

Roll with me on this one.

I’ve talked a lot about gratitude, cup filling, and helping others in these news articles. I have talked on life lessons you can take from any experience, how you should feel grateful and the need to find a village to support you. I have asked you to look hold on to the COVID19 rollercoaster, play a positive highlight reel from experience and pray for others who are less fortunate.

I have asked alot from you. And I still want you to keep this in your mind.

But as the new term starts, and we limp towards the start of Winter Sport, it’s also ok to recognise that at times -  we are really exhausted. We feel like we are drowning. We are overwhelmed. The juggle is hard.

The lunches, the pickups, the sport training. All whilst trying to work, run a household and keep yourself, your family and maybe even your parents healthy and happy.

I’m here to remind you that It’s ok. Those feelings that you aren’t just nailing any of it. That you are drowning. That you wish you could just be a parent.... and that’s it.

These feelings are ok.

For those who need to hear this - you are enough. You are doing enough. You don’t need to be perfect.

No gratitude homework this week. Pat yourself on the back. Crawl over the finish line.

50 percent is a pass. Some days - we will take that.

You did good mum, dad and carers. You did good.
