"Living in the now" is what I am still trying to learn to do and I find it really hard. I used to love to plan things and now there is no plan. There is no way to plan.
It is hard for us to make plans of any kind because my mother is in the last stage of her illness and we are on call at all times to help my dad if he needs help. He does everything on his own, everything that you would have to do for a baby. Lots of people have told him that he should put her in a nursing home but he just can't do it because he knows she would be miserable. He feels he is doing the right thing and I think he is too, but it is really hard to do the right thing.
I would like for my twice exceptional son to get over his fear of being in deep water and really learn to swim before it is too late. There is still a chance that he will have to wear a brace for scoliosis. The doctor will take more X-rays in a few months to see if it is progressing. I would like to have him swimming well enough that we could go out on our jet ski without worrying. The YMCA is trying to find someone with a lot of patience to give him private lessons. I would also love to be able to take him to a water park and if he crosses over to Boy Scouts he will need to be able to swim.
Since he has motor dyspraxia I can't really enroll him in any team sports or activities that most kids think are fun. He would much rather work on academic things than physical skills.
So I guess my son will continue to do computer and video games for fun.
