Good morning, everyone!!!
Each time I look into the eyes of one of my grandchildren I'm reminded that this world is not only filled with beauty but also filled with new excitement and adventure. It is also filled with so many things that are the same seen through different eyes can become something completely unique.
Last night the youngest grandchild spent the night with me. I love her enthusiasm for life. It's as if there is nothing she can't do if she sets her mind to it :) She's strong willed, determined, and definitely has a soft side to her :)
I love the way out of the blue she just decides its time to cuddle and climbs up beside me to sit real close and jabber away. Then just as quickly decides she is once again off to explore and find new things to occupy her time.
The older children are in school right now. So, my little adventurer spends most of her time with mommy, daddy, or her other grandma while her parents work. I treasure these little stolen moments of getting to know this little firecracker :)
Children change so much in the course of an eye blink, that getting to know them is such a wonderful journey. They learn so much in such a short amount of time. It seems like only yesterday our oldest grandchild was being born. Now he is almost a preteen and is learning to do 'man' things like mow the lawn, till the garden, and growing into such a wonderful young man.
The oldest granddaughter is turning into a fine young lady. Loving anything pretty, with her own style of beautiful. She chatters like her mother used to, a mile a minute, and full of excitement.
The next oldest granddaughter has an imagination to die for. She will be our little writer for certain. For the stories she tells are very detailed and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
The youngest grandchild is just beginning to come into herself. Her sense of adventure rivals no other. She has no fears to speak of. She has the drive to experience it all.
One thing I learned being a mother was I went too fast with the first two children. I didn't slow down and watch what was around me. With the last one I watched the changes more closely of the growing process. It amazed me. I had not been aware of how much children pick up and learn each day.
Now with the grandchildren this is the part about life that I look forward too. Seeing how much they grow and change over the course of time. Seeing how life transforms them. It's amazing how this works and plays out.
It reminds me to slow down in my own life and watch the world around me. Notice the changes each and every day within myself. Because even in the darkest times in this life there is beauty. We just have to sit still long enough to see it.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
