Where did 31 years go - my little boy!

Todd - his name is Todd Robert and he arrived 3 weeks late 31 years ago. He weighed almost 10 lbs. and was 22". Like any new mom - he was my little miracle. When he turned 25 I sent him a birthday card with a photo of the two of us when he was minutes old describing what it felt like to be in that moment. I hope it meant something special. I'll never forget it. Now he's getting married. December the 5th in Annapolis, Maryland. His brother Matt (28) will be his best man. My dad - at 87, will fly up from Florida. My dad does not fly - but he will be there with my mom - he promised Todd. So my heart sings but it tugs at the same time. I blinked my eyes and they are men. I'm proud but where did it go?

Never Enough Time...or so they say!

1. laundry done 1. call a friend

2. unload dishwasher 2. send a card

3. weed the garden 3. watch the birds

4. fold the wash 4. hug your child

5. make dinner 5. a favorite meal

6. clean a closet 6. donate to a charity

7. wash a window 7. let things go

8. hang up clothes 8. hug your child

9. make your bed 9. love your self

10. brush the dog 10. Praise the Lord

Never enough time - but time for those we love.

Take time for yourself.

Take time for GOD

Next Year's Nifty Idea For Halloween - Never to Late to Help a Child!

Check with your local churches, pre-schools and elementary schools next year - I just discovered that there are lots of children who's families have difficult financial situations and one of the rippling effects is that they cannot afford Halloween costumes. If you're at a yard sale or church rummage sale and see something cute and in good condition, think ahead, pick it up and set it aside for someone in need. It will make you feel soooo good. Please consider donating costumes and other decorative accessories useful for awesome outfits wherever the need may be in your neighborhood.
