Life is Beautiful

Life is so Beautiful! It really bothers me to see people cheapen life by taking someone's life- even if it is only in a tv show. I wish you all could have heard the sermon our pastor gave on the commandments of life several years ago- "Thou Shall Not Kill". The Older I get, the more beautiful life becomes. I am so blessed to have three children and six grandchildren It seems the older my grandkids get, the less they want their photos posted. Caitlyn still does not mind taking her photo. Many of these photos were taken by her mom several years ago. - Every mother knows how Beautiful Life Is! So does every grandparent! Liffe is Beautiful!

If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
