Sunny Day

Today my wonderful child is off of school and I get to spend some time with him.  I really don't know how we got so blessed to be his parents, I certainly take no credit for his behavior, but rather give him kudos for putting up with ours!  Soon, he will be 13, and no longer a boy, but a teen.  Scares the breath out of me!

I am grateful that he still likes to hang out with me, he enjoys our walks to school, and when I chaperone field trips, we even have a favorite place to munch on cheese fries and root beer floats.  I always assure him that I will fade into the background when he is ready, but he assures me, he will always have room for mom.

I can't believe I am tearing up right now.  Okay, I can.  If there is one thing that fills me with such love, joy and pride that it overflows my eye sockets, its my family.  Any one of them.  If you get me talking, I'll end up a sentimental blob of red eyes and boogers.  I'm cool with that.  I have great parents, and parents-in-law.  I love my sister and brother and my in-siblings and my nephews.  I love all of the Aunts and Uncles and cousins, law and in-law.  I am so grateful.

I am going to use this feeling of love and gratitude for family to drive my Spirit today.  What drives your spirit?  Please, post!  I love to hear happy things!

Have a great day!
