end of summer blues

Well, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder, so I can’t help but feel a pang of sadness that summer is coming to an end. Summer is my favorite season, and I always look forward to spending time outdoors with my family, enjoying the sunshine and the warmth. But living in Northern Ontario (ugh), I know that winter is just around the corner, which means months of snow, ice, and fucking darkness.

I suffer from seasonal affective disorder, which I'm sure you're already familiar with so I won't bore you with the details. I feel so hopeless when the days are gray and gloomy and have trouble staying motivated. I dread the thought of driving on our snow covered roads, scraping my windshield before I go anywhere, and bundling up in a shit ton of layers. I really do hate winter.

I have lived in Sudbury for 10 years now, but I still haven’t gotten used to the harsh winters here. I grew up in Guelph which, yes, did have winter. But the winters there offered a warmer climate, where winter was mild and short. I wish I could live somewhere where it’s summer all year round, or at least have the option to escape to a tropical destination for the winters. But that’s not realistic for me right now. I will probably have to wait until retirement to enjoy that luxury, so until then I will chase the sunshine with a vacation or two a year.

I had a wonderful summer this year with my family. We spent lots of time in our camper, traveling to different places and relaxing. We visited some beautiful lakes in some gorgeous parks. We went swimming, had picnics, bonfires, and marshmallows. We laughed, played, and cuddled. Summer to me is not long enough. I wish it could last forever.

But alas, summer is ending and fall is beginning. The kids have gone back to school and life has gone back to regular schedules. I know I have to face reality and prepare for the winter ahead. But I also know that summer will come again next year, and I will have more opportunities to make lasting memories with my loved ones.

I hope everyone enjoyed their summers as much as I did. And I hope everyone can find ways to cope with the end of summer blues.

The untapped reserve of #rainforestmind, #multipotentialite, and #twiceexceptional folx is vast. How much would the world be a better place if we nurtured and accepted them a bit more? Rather than being sometimes persuaded ranging to sometimes bullied by the cocksure bravado and machismo that manifests in patriarchal and capitalist structures?

That one time, when you were about to get some really beneficial stuff done in the world, by working within your degree program, but life/the Universe had other plans. Feel gravity's pull today as I wander through gigabytes and gigabytes of data, images, videos, mp3s, and more. It's a lot to take in. # . #retrospective #iusedtobecool #2e #twiceexceptional #memories #220collegecredithoursandcounting #itsbeenalongday #brainiac #life https://www.instagram.com/p/B04YbtnlHcW/?igshid=7c6dyf659346

5 Things I Do Before, (During), or After Therapy or Medical Appointments to help my Child feel soothed 🌿, supported ☀️, and Blissful 🌸. Slide >> for more. . ◾️No 1. Park Play: getting enough physical activity before an appt helps to calm nerves and tire out not only the body but the brain. For #adhd physical activity is a form of medicine! and reduces the #wiggles big time. . ◾️No. 2: A Fun Simple Reward. We make our own ice cream or stock up on healthy favs made of almond milk or just fruit and water. #kidswithfoodallergies #allergymom #vegantreats . No.3 Warm Bath: Just because your child is a child doesn't mean he can't benefit from some of the relaxing benefits of a spa experience. Epsom salt soothes tense muscles, lavender #essentialoils relax the brain and improve mood. I also dim the lights (my guy is photosensitive), and let him indulge as much as he needs at bedtime. I also play some soothing classical or instrumental #bedtimemusic . #sensoryoverload Thwarted 🙌 . No. 4 Fidget Toys: We have #2e or #twiceexceptional In the mix so brainy #fidgettoys like a rubicon's cube or even those #fidgetspinner s everyone is either raving or gripping about are actually an amazing #fidgettoy. They key in choose fidgets is to go based off of what you notice the toy does for your child - do you want something to keep them busy, soothe them, or give them a sensory experience appealing to the 5 senses? (If your child has a peaked sense of smell.. and theirs s cafeteria in the hospital you're visiting.. a fruit smelling pen would be a great part of a #travelingsensorykit. . No. 5 Snuggles: one of the simplest ways to ease your child's fears and worries is to pile on the snuggles, eye contact, warm smiles and bending down to them at eye level. While you snuggle before the appointment talk about what to expect (or share a #socialstory before the trip), during the appointment gently respect your child if he's in too much distress *reschedule* (!) Afterwards, process the visit and tall about the High and any low points that they might want to talk about. . What do you do in your home to help your child feel at ease during medical appts or Therapies? Please TAG someone

Slime making time!!! Trying to be more of a #yesmom and let them make messes. It is sooo hard to do because I know it means so much more clean up work. But the sensory input is high and just what is needed on a hot day like today. . We made a fluffy slime and now the kids are asking to sell it. #kidtrepreneur #slime #sensoryplay #twiceexceptional #2e https://ift.tt/2u0u9UX
