Friends

How true is this? We all wants friends...many of them...but having real friends...people you know who will be there for you...no questions asked.... if you need them...it's just priceless. Friends are not perfect...but they know you are not perfect either....so love them like crazy...and after a few crazy times with you...and with them...if they are still there .....don't ever let them go easily.

it's just one of my favorites.....

a friend of a friend gave this to me years ago.....and on rough days with people...with the world...I can go to this...and it seems to help make sense of anything.....it's just the best advice.....

Trust the process

Kitchen Gentleman

I have been making a point of spending some time in the kitchen with the boys. To my surprise, they love it...truly love it. I think it's important that they know how to follow a recipe and cook and do for themselves. I think it's important that when someone says "from scratch' or "homemade" that they understand it really means they put in the extra effort to make it and to appreciate that. I want them to know that when dinner is on the table that a lot of planning and work probably went into it and that a meal is truly a way to say I love you if it's made with love. I want them to experience the feel of dough on their hands and the anticipation of the first bite of something they made. Being comfortable in the kitchen is just a nice thing to be....and getting to spend time with them in my own way..... well...that is just icing on the cake.

the courage to walk away

This is what is on my mind...and on my heart today. This is a hard one...but man, is this good advice.  Seek happiness.....surround your self with people that love you...believe in you....and know your heart. It may be a person....a place......or an organization....but if the time and love you give no longer inspire you to grow and fill you with happiness....there is always another person....another place..... that will be thankful for your time, your heart and your talents.....there is always another opportunity for your heart right around the corner. So be brave...and have the courage to walk away.
