A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

New Outlook

We can't stop all the bad things happening in the world.
We can simply try to enjoy the good.



I am focusing on the good. When I stop to think there is SO MUCH GOOD!

The garage door opening - knowing my husband is home from work.
A snuggle with my husband.
An I love you mom on the way to bed.
A tiny little voice buried in his arms saying prayer at dinner.
A voice saying, dinner was good tonight, hun.
The sound of 2 brothers playing nicely together.
The littlest brother hugging the big brother and saying I love you, and the older brother saying it back.
The sunset I see nightly out my windows.
Surprising my boys with a surprise attack of nerf darts.
A roof over our head and food to eat.
The soft fur of a dog cuddled next to you.
Laying in a soft bed with tons of pillows after a long day.
Knowing Heavenly Father Loves Me.

THere is so... much more to add!
