Today was one of those days in N Ireland where we had ‘4 seasons in one day’, I managed to get my run in on the beach early morning in the sun, then it poured down in torrents in the afternoon as I drove along the winding roads of the N Coast, then tonight I was so amazed at the beauty of Benone Beach, and now I am gazing at the mountain shrouded in a tinge of red.

The multitide of weather conditions and sights today has got me thinking… in life we are continually being presented with a ‘changing environment and atmosphere’, and we are expected to always react calmly and responsibly to the ever changing climate of life, and the reality is, ‘sometimes we just are not ready for the winds of change, the deluge of rain or the thuds of thunder’… which can come crashing, sweeping or gradually seep into our lives.

This year I’ve noticed that myself and the Cups have been very considered, calmer and closer in our ‘Dishwashing cycle of family life’, don’t get me wrong, we still are ‘very loud, very shouty and very exuberant’, (it has been noted by one of the boyfriends.. we are loud), in our conversation, arguments and connections, but the overall climate of family life has been less wild, less wavering and more warmer and more manageable.

I was considering why this was tonight and I believe it’s because our thermometer of feeling had risen, each one of us has matured in our management of handling ‘our grief’, our diall for happiness is beginning to point more to happiness and we as a family are able to forecast and feel the rays of love more warmly again.

In fairness it has been a rather challenging year in lots of ways, but what has become apparent is as a dishwashing family we really are very close, the laughter at the dinner table is warmth for our souls, the 10pm cuddles and conversations on the sofa are a reminder of what is forecast and happening, and our continued conversations about dishwashing dad direct our discourse for dishwashing family life…

What it reveals to me is that ‘there is never bad weather only unsuitable clothing’, and such is the mantra for life… If we equip ourselves, our Cups and our connections with love, time and hugs each storm can be weathered, and each sunshine can certainly sooth the soul, so keep loving and hugging all the time, the Dishwashing family do xox
