Hope we will be hearing more about your son!<br /><br />Thank you Tekeal and Lisa. I am finding that my struggles often lead me back to myself, and how open and accepting I am (or not) -- of myself and others.BLOOM - Parenting Kids With Disabilitieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06901482901008135659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447392662850613354.post-14338687498719881032011-03-18T07:55:00.534-04:002011-03-18T07:55:00.534-04:00Such a beautiful and heartfelt post. Although I am...Such a beautiful and heartfelt post. Although I am not a Buddhist, much of their teachings resonate with me too. Many times I must stop and really think about what they are trying to teach. Like Pema Chodin's words on understanding others who repell us and not setting expectations for others for our own benefit....these are things I do struggle to accept. thank you Louise.L.

Exercise is a wonderful outlet - I'm glad he's got a good personal trainer too. <br /><br />I'm glad you related that teaching about expectations for other people here Louise. I had not heard that before and it's a liberating teaching. <br /><br />Hope you all are well.David Sextonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556969930448666864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447392662850613354.post-17260759753425170632011-03-16T20:51:02.386-04:002011-03-16T20:51:02.386-04:00Oh, how awesome!

I think both you and Ben needed to cross this threshold -- especially into one of the most "observable" communities called "the gym". ;)<br /><br />Michael sounds like a great coach -- very human -- and I think that is the greatest kindness he could give to you and D'Arcy. You can take great pride in the relationship that is now building between him and Ben.<br /><br />Just a super great post!♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
