Just getting started

I wish that I was able to easily do things. I am good at many things, but not great. I can usually figure almost anything out, but it takes so long and I get easily frustrated. My brain gets overloaded and my emotions get overwhelmed. Then, I need to take some time to decompress. 

And now...all I wanted to do is just get my blog started and my brain gets blocked. I can't think of what I wanted to say. So...I will wait until next time to say something profound. I hope you will forgive me. There has been lots of activity in our lives the last two days. And it's not over yet. We still have an event to attend tonight. Tomorrow we will be home and I will take the day off. 

This is how it is for the life of an Aspie...and when you multiply that by four (which is how many there are in our household) you increase the recovery time as well. Since all of us have High Functioning Autism (Asperger's Syndrome), we have to have grace with one another all the time. Even when we ourselves are overwhelmed and feel like having a meltdown. (That's where I am right now.) We, obviously, don't always have patience when another is having an issue. But, we try. 

Well, until next time, I will sign off and hope you all understand. I will share something more profound next week. Have a great week!

You work so hard. Not every day needs to be profound. And how can you keep up with all your work to help and take care of others if you never take time to take care of yourself? Keep doing what your doing it really is already above and beyond amazing!
