Sometimes, it's the small things....

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. -Buddha-

Giggling is contagious. A baby chasing a dog, a dog chasing a baby is one of the most wonderful things you can ever see.
We looked after Damian today. I got to spend the morning with him before work. I always enjoy time with my grandson. There is something subtly different than the time I spent with my kids. I think it may because I've changed. I've grown, and I've learned from my children more lessons than I ever expected. I think It's safe to say they taught me as much or more as I taught them.
It's amazing what memories seem to stand out, though. Megan's graduation, Steph wedding, these are definite stand outs, but then so are simple things, like the sound of Damians laughter. I can always count on my little man to brighten my day, no matter what, and when I have a day that gets too much, I just close my eyes for a minute and listen to his laugh, and I smile again.


Pax, all!
