What "ROCKS YOUR WORLD"??

[Minnymouth]

We all have "important" things in our lives. Most of us have our priorities in the right place. Our family and religion comes first, jobs, and materialistic stuff at the end.

Its the "little things" that help us make it thru the days, and all the "rough times"......

A reflection ad rememberance of the past - grandparents long past gone, a friend on the other side world, a pet that we loved dearly as a child.

Looking out the window and watching a puppy/kitten at play chasing their tail, exploring new things they've never seen.

Watching clouds take shapes and forms that look like animals etc.

Watching a baby sleep, whether it be human or animal and the "peacefullness" they show in their sleep.....

Looking into the eyes of a loved one (a parent or child) and knowing the time with them is limited and each moment is cherished time.....

Sitting on the deck late in the evening or after dark, watching a fire burn, listening to music and taking the "chill of the day" out.....

Knowing I "made a Friends Day" one of the best he/she has ever had.....

The simple things in life is what brings us the most pleasure.........

The old saying "stop and smell the roses" - YES - there's a lot of truth in it"......

My thoughts today,

My kids.

They are characters.

Mom was looking for an Easter card today to send to a friend. So I looked at the cards.

I saw one that looked like it would be perfect for each one of my kids.

One rambled on and on on the front like one daughter talks.

One had a hunky guy on the front like one daughter makes comments about.

One was a bit boisterous with a touch of geeky, nerdy the looked like son.

Odd how looking at greeting cards makes you think of people.

The fact that my 14 year old son still hugs me before he leaves for school, I dont even have to ask! : )

Mine do too, 13. All 3 of them still hug me and kiss me and say, "I love you Mommy!"

Big old teenage kids. And they still treat their mom to a little luvin' every day!!

My kids!!! My 6'1'' 16 year-old always hugs me and even my 13 year-old who is more reserved came up to my car as I was leaving for work today, hugged me and told me to have a good day.

My faith keeps me going, but more than that, it is just knowing that God is always there and His love endures forever!

Oh, and there is my dog who keeps me laughing! He is the goofiest of our creatures--trying to catch birds who mercilessly tease him! The funniest is when he sprawls out in the yard and is "dead." What a goofball!

My two sons

Ryan Brett is almost 10 and Alexander Michael is 8...

I love them with all my heart and soul. They just moved to Arizona as they are alergic to the mold in Florida. I miss them very much but know that I did a great job as their mom 24/7 for the most formulative years of their lives and they will be fine with their father out west. Also, it's a great excuse for taking a vacation now!

They are my gifts to the world!

My kids...Julie almost 12 and Erin almost 13...also my 3 older kids and 3 grandchildren. *(I was a prolific wench

I would not have survived the last few months without my kids and family.

All of my kids hug and kiss me and my older girls and I (ages almost 28 and almost 26) talk about everything...(and I mean everything). My grandchildren are a hoot though they give their moms a run for their money. I haven't gotten to see them nearly as much as I would like, but I get to move back to my *home* to Indiana in a couple of months and see my entire family more often. There is someone up there watching over me and my family and I am thankful for their presence and that I have not lost complete faith.

I also have a very dear friend who has been a Godsend in the been there, done that department.
