 Getting to Know Em
Back to Full Blog  

 
These past few weeks, I became invisible to other's and their problems...and gave of myself to my family...and let me tell you, it has been such a blessing...
 
It's been so long since I've just spur of the moment done something, well one day I noticed the wind blowing out, so I went into my youngest's room and grabbed hold of the kite...and told em come on...so there we were, flying these dollar kites as high as they would go, and of course getting them untangled from fields and the roof..lol...but, hearing my 15 yr old laugh so hard to the point he fell on the ground..and just telling me how much fun he was having ...just meant everything to me...my 7 yr old had just as much fun watching...he was a lil unsure about holding on to that string while it went so high...Smile..It's amazing how such a lil thing as flying a kite can bring ppl together, you just talk of so many things...and smile...
 
I'm getting to know my son again, and I'm being a Mom to him, not just a commander....
 
This past weekend, he and I took out bright and early and went browsing the flea market, it was so much fun...I think without him even realizing, he learned a lil bit more about me, his Mom...and I for sure learned a lil more of him..after our time alone, we then called Dad, and had him and the youngest be ready, for now it was time for all of us to go play...we just went shopping at the cheap-o places, lol..and went eat pizza...The day was just beautiful, the sun was shining, not to hot, and not cold, just perfect...we ran into so many ppl we knew, and you bet I had my camera, and snapped me some pics ...Smile...
 
Instead of me trying so hard to force my family to understand this and that, I've just started showing me, and showing the love I have for them in my heart..It's amazing how another person will listen to what you have to say, when their not so angry at you for other things...
 
I also, spur of the moment asked my hubby yesterday if he would come take a walk with me...and so we did, we took our crazy dog, but it was a wonderful walk together....I'm hoping for us to find a friendship that we never had, and maybe then I can fall in love again ...As a young girl, I believed love came from attraction and other things...but I now know it comes from friendship first...a life lesson to me lately...
 
Well, guess I'll stop with the chattering...and play some new music I've been hearing....enjoy and have a Happy Week ....
SMILES!!!!
 
On our walk...the green is coming back..

SammyJo

Isn't it awesome when to risk to hear and react to what is in our hearts - it's always the perfect thing to do - I'm proud of you - I wish you were my Mom -

Your post made me smile SammyJo. Spending time having fun with your children is so important. It is what memories are made of. The love shines through in your words, my dear.

Bear Hugs!

I've always believed actions speak louder than words, and if you know how much I love words, you'll realize that means a lot. Nothing beats the modeling that takes place when you interact with your children. I love that you spent some one on one time with your 15 year old. Great post!

Yes indeed, PolarB...that is exactly what I want with my children..to be able to have memories of love...I don't fool myself thinking it will always be good, but, one thing I want my children to know is there is always love...
I'm glad the smile in my heart made you smile also...
