In a closed autism group last night, a prompt was asked by the moderator to describe ourselves in three positive words.

Quickly I thought, Kind, Intelligent and Sweet.

However, it is not often that I think of these words.

It’s often quite the opposite.

Sometimes not about me, but about my life situation and the problems I make in my life.

I let my brain boil deeply in things.

Some things that happened in the past. Some things that I think I can change.

But then there is reality.

I must see what the outside world thinks of me.

Let it sink in and grow on me.

Try it on for a while and see how it feels.

Not letting all the garbage or “stinking thinking” enmesh my brain with everything wrong.

It doesn’t do anything good to think about what was or what we can’t control.

It only causes misery. No one wants to be in our company then.

I must remember those words: Kind, Intelligent. Sweet.

The heart I have for others and not being crude or mean about things.

Today is a new day and I need to be bright about what it brings.

Live life as I can. Not allow me to overthink or enmesh myself in normalcy.

I am living life as I can, and I must accept what is because I am doing well.

Being me. In my own time and in my own way. That is the motto we live here.

Being Kind, Sweet with a side of intelligence. That’s the motto.

Every day!
