As much as I appreciated the convention at the time, it was nowhere near as much as the appreciation I felt on my return home – being able to fully internalise the words of inspiration, the strong feeling of friendship, you helped to create and generally my newfound feeling of greater acceptance for the challenges we have in our day to day life, whether it is with our special child or just in dealing with the challenges of being a busy wife, mother, daughter etc. there was a healthy balance throughout and it was just what I personally needed to recharge my well worn out batteries.
