A Happy Heart

I'm feeling happy tonight :)

Small Man has made a new friend at camp!

It seems the universe had plans to put them together.

I saw his friend at the doctors surgery the other week,
I'd seen him once before at one of the get togethers for DET (Distance Ed Tas).
They were on the bus together to Hobart.
When they arrived they were in the same room (just the two of them, two to a room at this camp).

They had both selected the same activities to do at camp.

He is a big boy too.
Tall and heavy for his age.
He has food 'issues' as well.

There were a few other parents at the bus terminal, and it was his mother I just happened to start talking to.

And they live fairly close by.

SM has lost contact with all but one or two of his friends from the local high school - even then it's electronic communication - not social.

He has made two good friends with DET - but one lives in Devonport, the other in Hobart.

New friend would like to catch up with SM next week.
And both boys would like us Mums to have a 'coffee' tomorrow when we meet them at the bus terminal.

This is definitely what he needs, also to have a mate that understands is terrific :)

I haven't heard much about the food situation at camp - but I guess having a new mate is a pretty good distraction, and helps the confidence too.

Another busy day tomorrow - four ladies to deliver to then off to the bus terminal to meet SM - then home again for another of my ladies later in the afternoon.

This week has been busy in general, I have just now finished for the day.

Gee - I may even get a day 'off' over Easter!

This is great news, G. Some times we just have to step back & let things take care of themselves.... ;0)

That's excellent!

Every little step forward is a step away from the crap is it not.

Wonderful to hear about 'NF'. I think the whole camp thing has been a blessing for everyone. Maybe a 'NF' for you, as well!
