The church was beautiful!
I think the innocence of children keeps me appreciating life. To a point. At some point I believe they need to have their bubbles popped to see what the world is really like. But while they’re in their “life is all about puppies and panda bears” it’s all good. I have 4 nieces and 2 nephews and 2 1/2 God-children (one hasn’t been baptized yet, but when/if they get to it….)

My 2 beautiful daughters, my nieces and my nephew. Everyday my heart is overflowing with a true appreciation of all of the unbelieveably wonderful things I have in my life and I take nothing for granted.

By the way – Your nephew/godson is absolutely ADORABLE!! Enjoy all of the wonderful things he, your nieces (and 2nd nephew on the way) will bring into your life.

Also watching my two cats spar on a nightly basis and hear the pounding of their paws on the floor & their improper engagement of their four-wheel drive on the wood/tile floor.

For me, my family and friends help me keep perspective on things. Going out into the world and seeing all sorts of fun things with them makes life not only livable, but enjoyable.

And books.
