Today me and my family had to drive around town for quite a while.We went through many affluent parts that we hadn't seen before, passing beautiful,old houses with large gardens and so on.
My 9 year old turned to his brother and said "Look aren't you jealous of all the people living here..." My heart sank thinking he was going to comment that their homes were far bigger than ours and fancier..
." ....they are so lucky they have so much more snow than us."
Well that melted my heart a little and helped relieve the anxiety I had building up about feeling I hadn't provided enough for my family and so on just for that little moment.
Children are really the purest.
The holiday season is a huge trigger for my anxiety and I know it will be for many others so I hope this little anecdote helps give you a little moment to feel positive.
