Just a glimpse of me...

Do you ever feel STUCK? In 2000, I began looking for answers to some tough questions in my life. I'd searched high & low and finally conceded to search the promises found in the Bible. Those promises have sustained & guided me through the loss of a parent, the struggle with anxiety & depression, the loss of a valued relationship and so much more! I've found joy amid the pain. And, I want to share it with you!

sunrise thoughts 14 October 2015

Long before the sun came up, my mind was wide away, mapping out my day and thinking:
"There are way too many things on my schedule for today. How am I possibly going to do it all? I'm going to have to hit the floor running."


 A few minutes before 6am, we heard the small voice of our "Little" as she entered our room. She sweetly called out to us:
"PapaBear & DeeDee, cam I cuddle with you in your bed?"

Yes, you read that right... she's not yet 3 years old & says CAM I instead of CAN I or MAY I. We've heard that question from her before and know it means that the LOML & I need to prepare for a wiggle worm between us. Before we could answer her question, she was between us giggling & giving kisses while jabbing us with bony little elbows and knees. What a way to begin the day! 

Every thing on the "To Do List" won't get done today. But, the day was begun with something very important and a great reminder to be thankful for the good things that are accomplished -- especially a little quality time with those we love. 

 I have a hashtag that I use often on Instagram & Twitter... #FamilyMatters. Today some of my first sunrise thoughts were just that! And, as I look back on the day & the things that weren't accomplished, may I be reminded of just how the day began... making loved ones a priority.
Morning kisses for Mommy
from The Little

    Does your daughter call you Papa Bear and Dee Dee? That is totally precious. Such a good reminder. Right now, as the kids are asleep and the stress of the day disappears, I think, "Oh, how I wish I could snuggle with them..." but it's a different story when it's tomorrow morning (or tomorrow at bedtime) and there are things to do!

      Thanks for reading & commenting Kelly :) Our "Little" is our daughter's daughter... aka my "GLAMdaughter". Okay, I guess you can say I'm in denial that I'm a grandmother - since that name always meant "OLD" to me. Our daughter didn't want to go with the traditional grandparent names & came up with those based on our names/nicknames. WE LOVE HEARING THOSE NAMES out of the mouth of our Little :)
