Hi all

I have been silent except for on facebook - my life has taken a few major

upheavals in the past 2 years. I have not been posting becuase I have not

been mentally up to being pleasant

Quick intro for ppl who do not know me.....I am - from Australia. I have

been on this list since my eldest was 1.

is now 13. ( Yes THIRTEEN) I have 3 other children 0 Natasha 9,

Natahn 7 1/2 and Liliana 3 in may.

We have moved around a tad - and moved back to Sydney 15 months ago.

My marriage has broken down, but I have now found myself a new man. So life

is looking up again.

is going thru the usual puberty stuff,.......he was so proud to be

getting pubic hair LOL.....now he cant wait to grow a beard We have the

behaviour thing going, but we have had family upheavals, moving upheavals,

plus all the respite and stuff we had in place in Adelaide, we cannot get

here in Syndey. So we are slwoly building that up. On a BRILLIANT note- we

foudn an awesome High School. He is in a special needs unit attached to a

normal high school. It is also a sports high school. So they do PE 3 times a

week. HE bowls every Friday - they have football teams etc. He adores school

amd hates school holidays. His 13th birthday party was the best, as he

FINALLY had proper friends to invite to his party- he had 6 classmates and

they all had a ball.

Anyways.......my ex-sister in law forwarded this to me, and thought I Would

pass it along to you guys. I miss you all- I miss the banter, but there

never seems to be enough hours in the day .......But will catch up with

you all on Facebook

- Written by a 90 year old

To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It

is the most requested column I've ever written.

My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and

parents will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey

is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never

blinks.

16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up

to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an

answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't

save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will

this matter?'

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or

didn't do.

35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd

grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

42. The best is yet to come...

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift. "

Its estimated 93% won't forward this. If you are one of the 7% who will,

forward this with the title '7%'.

I'm in the 7%. Friends are the family that we choose

[Guest guest]

Yeah, - as I told you, it took me awhile to figure out where you went on my

FaceBook! It is nice to see you back on here, and glad to hear you are all

coping so well.

 

The 45 Lesson in Life are great.

love,

I'm a single mom to a 13 (soon to be 14 ) year old son. In my case, his dad

split shortly after finding out he was on the way.You can be a great mom to this

baby. He is a gift. You need to surround yourself with people who appreciate

him and you. Look for your local DS support group. Stay on this list. We love

babies. What's your son's name? Tell us about him. Is he a happy baby? Be

prepared. People will say the stupidest stuff. Occasionally we have a

competition here to find the dumbest or most insensitive comment made.

Above all, congratulations on the birth of your son.

I'm sorry that your husband ran away and that your friend is nasty, but

they just DON'T UNDERSTAND. You have a beautiful boy. Yes, he probably

won't be president of the United States, but neither will your husband

or friend. My daughter just turned 39 and today raked up the leaves

that had been lying on the grass all winter long. She also carried them

to the compost pile. I only helped her with the last few loads, and

there were many.

She, like all of the adults I know is a unique person, just as you and I

are. We aren't into a " my child is smarter than your child " race. All

the people I've ever met, and that's a whole lot, are nice people. I

wish I could say that about all the " normal " people I've met.

Make your life happy. Your son may need help all of his life, but his

life will be good. I've looked at the lives of many adults with down

syndrome and I find them at least as happy and probably more happy than

the rest of us. They don't do what those around you have been doing

which is hateful.

I agree with Kiersten completely. You have no idea how many smiles and laughs

you have ahead of you with this child.

Congratulations on your 8 month old.

I deleted the original message so I'll just reply to this one.

To sweetmel_4u,

First I just want to give you a big hug. As a mother I know it hurts deeply

when people are cruel to any children not just our own. But you need to take

a sober look at the people who are in your life. Is this an attitude coming

from a particular cultural background? I only ask because I'm shocked that

you have so much negativity coming from your family and friends. With the

exception of one person in my life, absolutely everyone else has been

loving, encouraging, helpful and much more concerning my daughter with down

syndrome. Family, friends, teachers, acquaintances and even strangers are

drawn to my daughter and enjoy her sweetness and her spunk so much. I have a

friend who during her pregnancy had testing to determine DS or not as she

was at a higher risk. Her child did not have it but she told me that if she

had known my daughter Lacey at that time she would have never even worried

about it. She loves my daughter tremendously and now knows DS is not a thing

to fear.

Well, I could jabber on and on. I just wanted to say that my experience from

day one has been so positive and uplifting. I'm so sorry you are going

through such a terrible thing. Please seriously think about getting these

icky people out of your life and surround yourself with better people.

Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby boy. You are blessed!

:-)

Mom to 9, Riley 6, Lacey 4 (ds), and Piper 7 months
