I volunteered to participate in a daily writing exercise this month: Write for 30 minutes nonstop -- no editing allowed -- in response or not to a prompt from the moderator.
The prompts have been: SECRET, TRANSPARENT, EXPOSED, SILENCE, CONSTANT, COMFORT and BALANCE.
It's Oct. 7.
I got nothing.
More-appropriate prompts for me: STUMPED, DISTRACTED, DOUBT, LATER, I FELL ASLEEP WITH THE KIDS AGAIN!, THAT LOOMING HOMEWORK FEELING and EXCUSES.

I've been spending time this week on the new Project Sensory website and it's associated links. It's sucked me in, as it validates so much of what I have experienced as a parent of two highly sensitive boys.
A few early posts on this blog lament some of our sensory-related struggles, but when I wrote about them, I didn't have the knowledge to realize that what was going on was a real "thing." I wrote them to vent. I wrote them seeking advice. I wrote them to remember.
But as the boys got older, I wrote less. I was in the trenches. It was not getting easier, and I questioned my role in why.
It's 12:17.
