I want to get better at this. So here I am.
Today I have been touched, at several times, by some things that have made me feel very angry. Well, we all have those moments and this is how I am going to deal with it.
My happy thoughts......

3. I love how sweet Cooper runs to me and hugs my knees.
4. I love the gentle hugs of Jacob and the giggles from Georgia.
5. I adore how grownup Sarah and Jessica are becoming...loved my sleepover with them this month.

ReplyDeleteYou were not slow AT ALL!! You even were able to help out Shelly. So glad you could come and thanks for dropping off Shelly, too!
I agree with the appreciating of parents while they are here... especially mothers... they are awesome and I wished I had realized that before Mom got really sick. I did squish as much love as I could in the last couple of years. ;-) We can miss our Moms together. Moms are the best EVER! (Remember that for yourself too)

I agree totally with Terri about moms. You know I am missing my mom this week and wishing she lived closer. You, however, are the best Maritime Momma I have ever had. Thanks for being there for my family. Happy Anniversary =)
