January 18, 2012 - Because it only makes sense...

... to smile and to be grateful for a 70 degree day at the park with nothing to do but play with your children.

And to consider this surprise happening mid January makes the awareness just that much better.

My smile for today.

January 16, 2012 – Thank you, Sir

‎"Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better." - Martin Luther King, Jr

 

Thank you, Sir… for your dream.   Thank you Sir, for believing what was possible and for modeling how to behave.  And thank you, Sir, for my daughter’s bedtime story tonight.

Before she went off to bed tonight, I called her to me and she curled into my lap.   There she sat in her flannel pajamas and we held hands and watched this speech together.  

Thank you, Sir, for making the world a better place for which my children will grow.

"Everyone is a genius.   

But if you judge a fish on it's ability to climb a tree,   

then it will live it's entire life believing it is stupid."   

- Albert Einstein 

I love this and I believe this.

My high point for today is that my daughter's teacher shared this with me.  I feel so grateful that someone else who understands and believes this is also the person who daily has such a large influence upon the life of my child.

January 10, 2011 - Nana

That's it for today.

Nana.

As in, "Mama can I pweese have a nana?

As in, "I weally wuv nanas"

I know soon, he'll  realize that it's not a
nana and really, he's leaving the all
important 'ba' out of it.

But until then, my smile for today came from
nana.   It's a little thing, but one of those everyday
moments I am grateful to have and one that I want to
notice, take in and then let sit for as long as I possibly
can.

Rock climbing, fairy hunting, tree hugging, boardwalk running, lizard finding fun-

Sunshine and daydreams... all day long.
