You forget about your messy house, the stinky hours your husband works, the cold weather waiting to bite at your nose. Then you remember your Father smiling down from Heaven saying, "Oh, you just wait! Have I got a place waiting for you!"Danielle Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382188842756681967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760301880687498036.post-5306551497586958362009-02-02T15:53:00.000-05:002009-02-02T15:53:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing.

I know exactly what you mean, and have stepped back in moments like that to try to take a snapshot so I can remember.<BR/>Pre-kids, I could languish in a house and mood that were in a funk, but now it's better for everyone's health (physical and mental) if I force myself to clean up and to cheer up. The dirt and the blues (and the bad parenting Moments) will come again, but for a little while there's a tiny bit of sparkle...Dublin Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11028715667638907020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760301880687498036.post-87681039391198770562009-02-02T15:09:00.000-05:002009-02-02T15:09:00.000-05:00No kidding!

Thanks Jo for capturing these moments and making us laugh - or see what really matters and in both, live life more fully that day.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02958526403715515812noreply@blogger.com
