Nurtured

A walk in the Botanic Gardens after an anxious morning.  Both my babies needed nurtured today.  My boy had an exam.  The usual zubble  and confidence wasn't there, it was replaced by doubt and frustration.  I haven't ever seen him like this before.  I reminded him that he did the work last year and his place at Uni is secure so this year has been more laid back.  I reminded him I care, I reminded him I love him.

My girl was through for a chat.  It's been a week of chats for her.  Chats with Jess, chats with Uni, Chats about intern research projects.  Mostly it was new territory and I have been in the background reminding her that she can do it, she can survive the pressures and she will emerge with better understanding, better knowledge and better skills.  I reminded her I care, I reminded her I love her.

I did my own nurturing this morning.  I progressed things a little, I took some bold steps.  I came home and nurtured my plants.  These are not my plants though, these are plants ready to be potted on and nurtured at the Botanics.  I hope someone will tell them that they care and let them know how much they are loved.
