...share the love


there is not a day that goes by that i don't thank God 
for the gift of this man in my life.

He is my best friend, my partner, my support, 
my love, my husband ... a treasure.

I am certain I don't tell him enough all that he means to me ... 
and that I fall in love with him more each passing day.

We have a wonderful love story and are
both extremely aware of the blessing that we 
share in our relationship.
We try very hard to not take it for granted...
as we both realize life can throw us curves.

The older I get the more I realize how 
important it is to share with those we love
how we feel ... don't let another day, minute, second
go by without sharing what is on your heart.
And don't assume those in your life know how
you feel about them ... they need to hear it, it needs
to be shared.  

After all, who doesn't love 
to hear that they are
loved!!

peaceandlove,

...on your heart


my littlest little is sick...
she is miserable and sad and 
feels like she is missing out on all the fun 
her sister and friends are having.  

i have tried to entertain her...
be with her, cuddle with her, 
talk with her, console her.  
i asked her to climb up on the bed 
next to me today and draw in my sketch book 
(if she wanted)...
she pulled it out, sat for a moment, 
looked over at me and said...
"mom, i don't know what to draw, and i usually know."  i simply told her, 
"draw what is on your heart love..."

this was the result...

(sydnie 6/21/11)

when your child hurts, 
you hurt just as much if not more...
and if you could carry that pain 
and take it all on yourself....
you would.  

that is simply what a mother would do 
and it is what i would have drawn today....
it was exactly what was on my heart.

hope you are all in good health 
and enjoying your summer.

breathing in all of God's goodness.

my visit home was one of lots of love,
laughter, great conversation, 
rocking my sweet baby niece back to sleep,
 learning patience and 
finding the blessings
 in all that is around me.

what blessings have you found today?
