If it’s possible to slow down at the same time that we’re speeding along, then that is what we’ve been doing. There’s never an end to the work to be done—and I’m sorry to have to tell you that, but there’s just not—yet still, there’s an attitude of gratitude that makes all the difference.
I’m getting all mushy on you, aren’t I?
Okay, I’ll stop.
We went for another walk yesterday—a long walk, with dog and baby and lots of kids. “There’s the spot,” Felicity noted, “Where I fell and dropped my flowers!” I noticed that she slowed down as she said it.
It’s all about slowing down, you see.
Not necessarily stopping—that’d be impossible—but rather, pausing.
As much as possible.
A semi passed us as we walked along. He tooted his horn and my son asked why.
I said, “He wanted to say Hi, I think.”
“Seeing you made him happy.”
Now I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I know they make me happy.
A blessed Friday to you & yours,
Sweet little darlings and pretty flowers = two of my favorite things! Precious, Margaret.
Oh, beautiful pictures!!!
I love that last one, that is my son exactly, the girls always ready with their poses and him yelling and trying to do "goofy" pictures!!
Glad you are slowing and speeding along. We picked some wild flowers by my clinic yesterday way far away from the clinic (it's surrounded by wildflowers) over by some woods (really far from it) and by the time we were finished and I loaded the van, the security guard had already come to tell us not to pick the flowers…he was nice about it though, what could he do? We'd already picked them! I did apologize though…
they are beautiful. they would make anyone happy!
Your girls have such beautiful smiles; just like their mama.
seeing this made me happy.
🙂

Yes, they made me happy too! Toot toot! Thanks for sharing – they're beautiful.
Total cutie-pies!
I always like to see siblings hanging out together. Amazing how those girls all look so different!
