when you're
laughing.

Summer vs Winter

In The Blink Of An Eye




"You blink and they are 8.  Then 28.  And then they are parents, resembling the you you once were.
So take it in, mama. Let them climb into bed with you any hour of the night. Sing that song they requested for the tenth time. Hold them a little tighter when all they want is to hug on you--feel that small body against your own. Maybe in raising children you lose your mind a little bit. But boy, do you find your soul! Embrace the exhaustion. The hard days. The overwhelming. And all the joy."

A Good Habit

"Make it a habit to talk
about blessings more
than burdens. When we
spread positivity the 
Universe blesses us even
more."

I received this photo of Sofia and her dad playing cards and it reminded me of a story about my dad which I call "Such a good hand." My dad in his retirement years was a Screen Actors Guild extra. He did many small speaking roles and this was surprising as he was so mild mannered and quiet. One acting job he was sitting around playing cards and the director told him "when this guy runs through the room you need to stop and point he went that way." Well the cameras were rolling and the guy runs through the room and my dad does not do what he's supposed to do. The director yells "CUT!" and he goes up to my dad. "Bill, do you understand what you are supposed to do?" My mild mannered dad responds, "Yes". Director says "Well then why didn't you do it?" My dads says, "I couldn't stop my cards were great and I had such a good hand!"
