Sunday mornings I usually take time to catch up on stories I may not have time to read through the week. I thought I would share some that caught my eye this week, that you might enjoy with your Sunday Morning Coffee a well.
LighthouseNow: Swim program designed for people with Autism helps them excel
I love this! What a wonderful option this is for families for whom traditional swimming lessons may not have been a consideration. The confidence and sense of accomplishment, not to mention the life saving skill of swimming, are all huge wins for this program. So happy they have this available at the LCLC and made possible by the South Shore Chapter of Autism Nova Scotia. Another session is starting this fall if anyone is interested in registering.
Learning to swim can be overwhelming for anyone, but that process can be even more difficult when you have Autism. But a program at the Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre (LCLC) designed for children, and even adults with Autism, has seen some children who couldn’t cope with regular lessons excel.

Want to be happier? Live in a small house.
This an American story, but I think easily applies to us Canadians too. I live in a bigger house and look around and wonder what we are going to do with all the space when the kids are gone. I totally agree as well in that smaller spaces force you outside more and also brings you together more. Another interesting take on downsizing.
0″ alt=”” />What these spaces aren’t empty of is stuff. Just as work expands to fill the time allotted, our useless crap expands to fill the space we give it. Our houses are bigger because we need more space to store our junk, and our junk pile grows because, hey, there’s room for it in the garage. You don’t have to go full KonMari to recognize that this isn’t healthy, and it certainly doesn’t make life better or wallets fuller.
