All over the place

It's been an interesting week.  I'm still not sure what to do with J and his mood swings, or with Z and whether his OCD is just the Autism or if it's a side effect of medication.  That being said we had a great week with the boys.  J played outside several times and continues to show himself as a fun, quirky child.  Z is acting more and more like a 9yo typical boy by getting into dirt and insisting on bringing all kinds of bugs and creatures into the house to examine more closely.  

I think, for me, I struggle with being too much in the "moment".  When we are in the midst of J running away from home and being worried about the "nosy" neighbor calling the cops about the child being attacked by two grown men I tend to go into fix-it mode.  Planning out how we are going to keep this from happening again.  The reality is that that was a moment.  It was one moment.  There were a few moments at various times of the week, a couple at school and a couple at home but they were all that, just moments.  I think for me I need to realize that until the moments become more hours or days I need to realize that they need to be dealt with, not necessarily fixed.  By focusing on the moments I'm possibly missing the big picture and treating minutia when, in reality, things are going pretty good.

Since it's Sunday, I'm going to wax spiritual for a moment.  I think this is what I do spiritually as well.  I get caught up in the moments of this life.  I focus on what is happening here in this life and how to fix it and how hard it is and allow it to swallow me up sometimes.  The reality is that this life is but a moment in the span of eternity, LOL, and for that I am grateful.
