[100 days of gratitude] Day 20: Deep breaths help to quieten, and quiet times help in rejuvenation

Kiddo drank a whole glass of milk only to puke them all out. My first reaction was anger, but, I restrained expressing it. In 2mins, the anger vaporised. Ditto during lunch time, when he vomitted a whole bowl of rice, after 1hr of munching his lunch. As much anger as I felt, I restrained myself by expressing gently that he wouldn't have dinner that night. Then cleaned up quietly and went back to watching Netflix.

Slept for a whole 2hrs post lunch. Had a fun time at the library with the kiddo volunteering to narrate a story. Went back home to make rice noodles. Disappointed with the spiciness and the complaints, I broke the batter box. Owned up to my mistake, Replaced the box, cleaned up the place and made dosa for the kiddo. 

I'm learning to manage my disappointments- of my own actions and those of others too. For I love myself, and my body doesn't deserve the bad treatment. My body deserves better, and my soul deserves even better. Anger and frustration wreck to churn the worst of and to my health, soul and spirit. I'm working on my affecting habits, and getting better with the day. For I love and respect myself, and my love and respect are abundant for my life. I am enough and need no longer reciprocation or appreciation. There's no better judge for me than I!

Love and Respect for myself
Me!
