Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From the Reverend Kate Bottley:

There’s been many impressive and cheering posts on social media over the last couple of weeks, rainbows in windows, cheery doorstep grannies and even a whole street doing socially-distanced dancing. But I have to confess there’s one social media trend that’s left me feeling inadequate and that’s the family home school timetable posts.

Meticulously drawn up and boldly colour coded, it’s 9am for PE, then 10 o'clock for Maths and the whole day sorted through until the whistle blows at 3 o'clock in time for tea and cake.

 If our family timetable was given the same treatment, social media followers would be able to marvel at our plans to stay in bed until lunchtime, stare blankly at the contents of the fridge for a whole 20 minutes, followed by collapsing on the sofa for another 2 boxsets and 3 bags of crisps. I don’t begrudge anyone with the get up and go to motivate themselves, what with things as they are, whatever gets you through, right? It’s just that, for now, at Bottley Towers, our get up and go got up and went.

 We have a family Bible motto at our house. It was read at the kids’ christenings and at our wedding and I keep coming back to it most days at the moment. It goes:

‘Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of it’s own.’

It sounds a bit downbeat, but it’s really just another version of ‘One day at a time’, it reminds me to cut myself some slack. There are days when just getting out for a walk feels like an achievement and others when I’ve managed to clean all the kitchen cupboards out before Joe Wicks has even put on his trainers. Remembering it’s ok to not be ok.

We have managed to successfully timetable one thing in our house though and that’s whose turn it is to have a bit of a wobble. I had mine last Wednesday and the teenager is planning hers for Sunday afternoon. And that’s ok, because that’s how this is going to go, supporting each other and loving one another and taking it all just one day at a time.
