HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!

Oh, I feel so much better this morning than I did seven years ago when you came into the world. I'm a little more sure of things thanks to you. Happy Birthday sugar.

In a day

In less than a day he will be 7. It took so long for him to arrive and now it just goes by so quickly. Measured in days: 2,555 so far with him. So lucky indeed!

Without words

Say it like you mean it. What keeps a person from ding just that? I suppose that's why we buy cards, recite quotations, regurgitate stale monikers.

Give me something new.

Where kids can be kids

If you don't know about Kids for Peace yet check them out at: www.kidsforpeaceusa.org

They have a new book that I highly recommend, "Peace Through Our Eyes." What does peace mean to you?

Why boys pee on fires

I find my new career path is that of an anthropologist. Why boys pee on fire?

Any ideas? Men? A little help for the MAMA would be nice.

Live boldly

Someone died recently who made a tremendous impact on this community. He carved out his own job description and performed to the highest degree. His death made me think of how meek we are sometimes. How our existence is small. But it doesn't have to be. He lived boldly. It got him into plenty of trouble and everyone had an opinion of him. We thought enough of him to form an opinion.

I will miss him. An entire community will miss him. What an impact.

Time for love

Isn't everyday a god day to show your love? I appreciate the special St. Valentine's push as much as it serves as a reminder to us that we don't live in a vacuum. Humanity has texture. I like flowers for no reason. The kind that someone picks because they know I like the color or the type.

Little kisses big hugs and an "I love You" because it's Thursday.
