Kids

Sitting in the home office with two sick kids. Not really sick but some kind of mild flu and these days you can`t let them go to school. They will be sent home anyway if the teacher notices something. Weird times. Sometimes it still feels not real. We all have a different vision on that. I am very sad that my kids and a lot of teens cannot go out and have fun. They are limited in their choices, which is sometimes not bad but in this case, going to a party or a club is off the list and there is not a good substitute around the corner. This is my view because I did all those things when I was young. Each weekend was fun. The same with sports. It is not the same anymore. It was my calling and I took it seriously and it made me whole and more self-confident as a kid. My son is also deep into different sports but it changed. The competition is different. This is again only my view.
What is that all about here? It is about my view of the things around me and about my day in the home office with my kids. It is about me realizing that my view is not their view or anybody else’s view. We all see the world through our lenses. And this is almost always a unique view of the world. This is something I like to forget when I am sad about things that happen to m kids or other people. I have to realize that this is not necessarily their take of the situation. I do not need to feel sad, I just need to raise them to be content with whatever they have right in front of them, and then everything will turn out good. Today they taught me this lesson again, while they were playing happily together without complaining about anything going around. Except that they had to stop watching TV after their time had expired.
So, I go enjoy my day and stop worrying about things that are not under my control.
