One thing we all need is rest and rejuvenation for balance and health. Children, cats, and dogs, are good at reminding us that we need this. They are constantly emoting love and healing energy. They heal us, when we let them in. Children never lose their ability to heal through love. We have to be humble enough to allow their innate wisdom to teach us. One of the things about co-sleeping, co-napping, or cuddling, is that just like bonding with babies, it opens and heals the heart. So much memory and wisdom is contained within the heart, that is expressly reminds you what you have forgotten to heal and how to do it. Kids give us these amazing tools, to remind us who we were before we were here on planet earth. They remind us of the experience of limitless love, so that we can learn to give back to them and to others in the most responsible, virtuous, heartfelt, and mindful ways. Gentleness and grace are what we are born with. If we can endeavor to return to this state, we are doing good.
You don't need a child, a mate, a cat, or a dog to put their hand or paw over your heart to open and heal you. Healing is only opening to the flow of universal love, acceptance and understanding.

On a personal level, I am so grateful to my incredible husband who has been healing me with humor and love for many years. He is a true beacon of light, love, and sanity. He is intuitive, nurturing and handsome and a darling and truly my better half. I think sometimes people are afraid to love their mates as fully as they can, for fear of losing them. It's akin to the fear of jinxing something. I love when I see partners and married couples who dare to love each other and care, and stay with it, patiently, with gratitude and a desire to grow. We have so few role models these days in popular culture. It's okay to love your love with as much love as you have. It's okay to keep loving your children like babies and not try to toughen them up. The world does that or us.
you did a grate job mom. from hero
