Just Right!!

In the last 2 to 3 weeks, I got a lot of feedback on my writing. I had been sending at least one email per day about the Fun Fair (which is officially over at this point in time). And I am sure some people heaved sighs of relief around our neighbourhood that the Fun Fair was done.

No more email from the crazy woman!

It is true that someone's treasure is someone else's trash.

A teacher remarked that she looked forward to the email every day. A mom remarked that her husband wondered how someone could write so much?! I am not sure that was meant as a compliment!!

I think I look at my writing on the same wavelength as my parenting. Both are personal and both have end results.

At the Fun Fair, I had an epiphany. It was more like a Goldilocks’ moment!

The week leading up to the Fun Fair was hectic. Not only was my phone dying on me, my land line died on me! With so much to coordinate, I felt overwhelmed at times. I did not cook the best dinners and yet Hans exclaimed one night that he would put me through to the next round of Master Chef Canada! With that statement, he put a smile on my face. And ASid as well! He was busy and he did not want to volunteer at the Fun Fair since his friends N1 and N2 were busy too. Out of desperation, I offered him and any 2 friends minimum wage for 3 hours each. First question that came out of ASid's mouth was, "Is the money coming out of your pocket or the Fun Fair's?" Obviously mine! Then, the boy took off and came back a few minutes later and said that he notified all his friends and that he would be there for me and make sure there are 2 others as well. And he was there for me!!

Both the boys did not complain and provided a ton of moral support for me. They were like my cheerleaders. The Fun Fair was personally better than ever for me because of their support.

So, at the end of the day, if my children bring me joy, that is enough. And if my writing brings them joy, that is more than enough.

It is just right!!
