I tucked each child in tonight before going to bed as I always do - but tonight I saw peace and beauty in my dear sweet girl, and calm strength in my dear sweet boy. We don't have the neatest home...we are basically a mess. We can sometimes be a loud house, with stress, anxiety, and life's pressures all around us. But one thing we have is love. Love for each other. Love and gratitude...for beautiful, kind-hearted children who are full of life, sweetness and tenderness; for good family and friends to nourish our hearts; good food to nourish our bodies; good music to nourish our minds; good faith to nourish our souls.
May I provide my children with a strong foundation from which to grow, a safe place to cultivate who they are, as well as to return when they need comfort, and a pleasant place that brings them happy memories in their future. May my children always stay full of the bold exuberance that makes them special people and brings smiles to others' faces wherever they go!
