Dear Daughter: Part 7

Dear Daughter(s)-
 
I hope you learn at an early age that
your beauty is in your spirit.
It is in the way you treat others and yourself.
It is in your laughter.
It is in your wonder and curiosity.
You are beautiful being you!
 
Love, Mom

So are the days of my life....

What a week...a good week! Well I worked Wednesday night through Tuesday night. I was suppose to go to a fun lake party and visit with Matts sister and nephews on Saturday but unfortunately the apartment above me was getting new carpet...and it took 3 days to prepare and install...so I didn't get the best sleep. I was very sorry to miss Wendy (Matts sis) and the boys, because now they are back in Japan :( I wish they weren't so far away...the boys are growing up so fast and we are missing it. I hope they will be at the wedding! On Monday evening I met up with Emmy at Jakes (such yummy food!) and I got to see the pics from her Ultrasound. Baby is healthy...they are not finding out what it is...and I just love that. I think it is so exciting to wait and see if it is a boy or girl. There is very little in life that is a huge wonderful surprise. Ultrasounds are just so fascinating to me, I think I am going to be able to go with her to one of them...YAY!! Emmy and I had a very nice ...

Renew

Image
A couple of weeks ago I got to be part of a great act of kindness; a renewing of an old picture and a reliving of memories. You see my Grandparents are a part of an old neighborhood. Years ago the neighbors would get together to celebrate many occasions, one of which was New Years. One of the guys from the neighborhood was a great illustrator and drew up a picture of "New Years 1962" and gave it to my Grandparents. This great illustration has been given a new life; taken from it's plastic bag, matted and framed and now hangs prominently in my Grandparents den. The idea to get it framed came from one of my brothers and then my dad took the idea and ran with it. To witness my Grandparents delight in this gift and to see them reliving the memories of yesteryear was so moving!! Here they are, 91 years old, married for 60+ years, and just recently in and out of the hospital for three months...and then before my eyes taken back 40 years. I will never forget the joy they emitted...

A cup of Tea!

The Tea tag reads "Your choices will change the World". I thought it was brilliant. It wasn't a completely new concept to me, although it was worded in a way I had never seen. Yes, what I do matters and changes the pace for the rest of the world. Every choice, from whether I choose to stay in my pajamas and chill at home, to what kind of beverage I drink, to where I shop and what I drive, to the job I have and the people I talk to. Every choice matters. What can I do to help others? I want my choices to have a positive impact. I want the World to move in a progressively better direction. What choices do I make everyday that have actually become habits? Everyday I make choices that I am not even conscious of. How can I become conscious of my choices and my thinking? It begins with awareness. It begins by stopping and analyzing. It begins NOW! Live. Love. Laugh. Embrace.
