As we strain to gasp the things we desire the things we think will make our lives better: money, popularity, fame... we ignore what truly matters ... the simple things... like friendship, family, love. The things we probably already had.

Table 1 Raven 0

I dropped a table on my foot today at the daycare.  It is a very heavy table and it slide right down and smacked me across all my toes as I took it out of the box.    ... and I cussed like a banji! Right in the middle of the classroom I was working in.  I’m so glad I was the only one in there😬 because  school agers would all be learning a new vocabulary!  Anyway, Dennis showed up like 5 minutes later and worried over my foot for a whole 2 minutes before he called me a dumbass, but he took pity on my crippled ass and finished putting the tables together for me. He is my hero on a daily!

A Movie Invitation

As I’m walking up to the movie theatre... I can see the reflection of my grandchildren’s little red tennis shoes, stamping back and forth... as I get closer I realize they are watching me walk up to the door.  Their little bodies dance with excitement and they yell out my name while they run to hug me as soon as I open the door.  This is a memory I will keep forever.  

It's Christmas time.....
