Reflections Beyond The Water

why the blog? a place to reflect.



I have been reading through a lot of blogs, many of them dealing with autism. It is almost information overload...

We all want to do what is best for our children.. when my son was diagnosed with autism.. I jumped on the bandwagon of Autism speaks and their walk for autism research...well I wish i would have done a little more research..prenatal testing for Autism...I look at my son and why on earth would anyone ever consider??
But what really, really made me wake up was the video...Autism Everyday..I wanted to shake those families and say stop whining enjoy your special child...yes it can be a struggle...and it will always be a struggle if you let it...wake up and see the wonder and beauty that is autism...okay stepping off the soap box at least for now....

Finding Beauty

Excuse me I felt like celebrating my son today!



I want to speak to you about a boy
Who smiles and laughs
At the strangest of sights

Who finds beauty
In the simplest of things

I want to speak to you about a boy
Who touches my heart
With a crooked smile

Who brings tears to my eyes
With each new word he learns

I want to speak to you about a boy
My son, a face in a crowd of many
A child with Autism.

Believing

That life will turn out all right in the end..Belief.

I wonder if that is the dictionary explination..hmmm probably not.

Anxious

Have you ever been anxious to see someone even if you have seen them before? Even if you know them in the most intimate of ways?

*sigh* it is the waiting... I hate waiting. It gives you too much time to think and rethink and second guess. For me I hate the time of second guessing...Its always wrong. If I just do what I set out to do it is the right thing..It is when I hang around and think about things

I think too much!

Storms and addiction

I stayed up way to late working on a web page, and the reason is that I am just slow! And it seems to be addicting... very addicting...

and it looks like it may storm, that could put a damper on my computing for the evening.. hmmmmm that reminds me.....

The sun has gone now....
The last of the twilight fades...
Rumbles of thunder...
Heard off in the distant sky...
Bidding farewell to winter ...

Poetry

I'd like to fancy myself a poet...I used to belong to a writing site, but well thats a long story one for another day maybe.. Sooooooo I have all these poems that I have to put somewhere, well i don't want to fill my entire blog with poetry so I figured a web page.. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO THAT! I did notice they had templates but hmmmm I like to do things the hard way so i was trying page builder..and *cough* I could even get it to load...*sigh* maybe i should just start with a template..

back to the drawing board

Under Contruction

I am learning so give me a moment ot two....
