Daily unfolding.............

Daily we expect things to improve or just amazing things to happen. Daily in my life amazing things happen....no so much for me but for others in my life. Other days it just doesn't turn out the way you want or expect.  I'm on such a unique journey, the people who've already come in and out of my life are extraordinary in there own way I am at awe with what happens.  No matter how much we think we know about ourselves or someone else, tomorrow always surprises us with the worse or best outcome. We watch our children grow up and the challenges they face and the support we give as parents can be rewarding.  We also watch our children fail but continue to give the support they need, ....life lessons.  I wonder how many of us think to ourselves "when do I get a break" or "when will they get a break".

I am very fortunate, and I am so grateful for what I have, I didn't have ALL I wanted growing up...but I always had what I needed.  I've taught my children to respect those who are less fortunate and to give when you can.  I hope that they've learned that there is always someone worse off than we are.  I will be the first person to offer a ride to a stranger, or hand a homeless person a bag of food.  We will be the ones you will see giving as much as we get, it's just who we are.

Our daughter and sons are growing up so fast we are missing so much of their lives.  Kaitlynn lives in the same home and I feel that I blink and she's another 2 yrs in.  This last 2 months she grew another inch so that puts her taller than me at 12yrs old.  I feel some days I am in a whirlwind continuing to be the best mom I can be the best wife I can be and now I get to be a Grandma....WOW...........I get to love and cherish my son and his child.  I am in a place in my life I still won't believe even when I'm standing there looking at him and her.   A blessing in itself.
