July 17, 2010 – Fly High, Follow your Dreams and Chase Rainbows!

Carefree.  Kind.  Fun.  Smart.
 
Oh, how I love the way you love life.  Watching you, always finding and enjoying the best out of whatever you’re given.  Your joy, your smile, your wild ways (that by the way age me on a regular basis) always serve as a reminder to of what a completely cool person you are. 

My wish for you is that you retain this zest for life and kindness towards others.  Your enthusiasm is contagious and you are fun to be around.  Anyone who cannot accept this isn’t worth being with you, my little sweetheart.  Go forward with this energy and this confidence… follow your heart and keep that crazy smile.   You make me so proud.  So fly high, follow your dreams and chase the rainbows, my dear.  You, my girl, are amazing.

July 16, 2010 – Happy Birthdays

Mothers.  Daughters.  Grandmothers.  Birthdays.  Time spent.  Laughs.  Love.   Bubbles.  Trucks.  Talks.  Legos.  Hugs.  Life.

Especially grateful for this today.  Happy Birthday, Mom. 

We love you and love spending time with you.

July 15, 2010 – Safe travels

Sometimes when things are all going right, it’s easy to forget how quickly things could change.

Today , I’m grateful for safe travels… for my husband’s safe arrival home to and from a business trip, for my parent’s safe trip back to their home, my aunt’s safe arrival here and for all the others who made it where they needed to be without any troubles… simple things we take for granted until they were gone.

Safe travels… often overlooked, always appreciated.

July 14, 2010 – Random

Floors

Beams

Dirt

Chain Saws

……………………………………….

In the midst of a home renovation, these are the things I’m finding myself grateful for today.  Silly, perhaps… who’d have thought I could have gotten so excited about a steel beam?  This gives new thought to a roof over your head and your feet on the ground.

I’m grateful for it all… coming together, moving forward, and getting done.   These men, working so hard on my home, using their talents and having such pride in their work.

I’m thankful of it all and taking notice of  it today.

July 13, 2010 – Patience

Today I am so glad that through all of the madness going on around me, the kids and I had a wonderful day.  No tempers, no screaming, no whiny, no wanting to pull my hair out  … overall, just good times.   I wrote, they laughed, we played bingo, I shopped, they ran along, they colored, we read books… all. day. long.

As we got home tonight after running some errands, my daughter happily told me that our day was quite the adventure… full of rain, sunshine, (we got caught in a big storm), ups, downs, and all around fun!

I’ll take it.

July 12, 2010 – Fancy Feet

Today I am so appreciative of these beautiful little fancy feet.

My hope is that little heart of mine who wears them always remembers to be strong, to be kind and always knows how super cool and special she is.
