Musings of an Aspie. Aspergers and Autism Resources. The Importance of Play. May 29, 2014.

Still At the age of 45. Play in its purest form. Play that arises in the moment and leads to unexpected, unbridled fun. Worse, why are autistic kids so often described as not understanding how to play? The activity c...

breaking up Christmas | view from the porch

https://porchgal.wordpress.com/2013/12/30/breaking-up-christmas

View from the porch. Where the heart is. December 30, 2013. It was the darkest night in over 500 years. If you believe what was posted on the internet. A lunar eclipse in the season of winter solstice, during the longest nights of the year. But by mid-morning, it’s already stale, though the lights are nice and the Christmas coffee is steaming and rich. The wrapping paper gets cleared away; boxes and ribbons to keep and reuse is stacked in a corner. So, how to stay in celebration for nearly two weeks?

I feel like my life has taught me over and over and over and over again that we just don’t know the end of the story. When I look back at my diaries, I feel like I was waiting to become a mother for as long as I could remember. It was a very deep, intuitive yearning.
