My vacation... Have I mentioned just how incredibly
blessed I feel...
I am no Pollyanna, believe me...
My natural disposition tends
to be sceptical,
rational (except on hormone driven days),
warily cautious,
so, knowing this about myself..
I aim everyday to find the "good"
in my life.
I have to ....
if I don't, I will fall into a funk that
is morbid and dank.

So, today I choose to see the
blessings that have been bestowed upon me...

The most prominent
example is the vacation that I
have just returned from.

My son sent us to the beach.
He paid for it....
Yes, you read right...
he paid for it....

Mind you,
I have no idea
what I did to warrant
this blessing.

I gave birth to him,
took care of him,
but I've made lots of mistakes too...
You know what I am talking about moms.....
the times you are pushed to wall with things to do..
and you just snap..
say things you shouldn't
do things you shouldn't
all the while
that taking these things
well, will be impossible.

I have tried
very hard to be the best mom
that I can be,
it has not always been enough.
But this trip
tells me

‎"Promise me you'll always remember:

You're braver than you believe,

and stronger than you seem,

and smarter than you think."

-Christopher Robin to Pooh

Too often we underestimate

the power of a touch,

a smile, a kind word, a listening ear,

an honest compliment,

or the smallest act of caring,

all of which have the potential

to turn a life around.

--Leo Buscaglia

We are all of us richer than we think we are.
