Here's to maintaining some self-respect and sanity while tending to the growth and maturation of young minds, including your own young mind. Here's to recognizing that it isn't necessary to know how everything is going to turn out in advance, and that often Life has much better in store than one can imagine. Here's to hope and happiness even when Life gets complicated, especially then... That's when it's needed it most.

...afterall, the car may only seat seven but room for friends is unlimited...

Leave a message.

When I was waking my 13 year old son this morning, he proved to me - once again - that his sizzling wit will be a very important part of getting him through the "rough stuff".

"Time to wake up, T . . .Come on sweetie."
nudge nudge
"Seriously T . . . you need to . . ."

"T is not available right now. Please leave a message. Beeeeeeep." 
giggle giggle

I, of course was completely unable to resist it - I about fell on the floor belly laughing.

That was a great way to start the day.

A well placed joke on a difficult morning is a wonderful skill for anyone to have! Yeah for T's cultivation thereof.
