I am feeling much better! Thank you all for your well wishes and concern.
I am Exhausted and it has nothing to do with hitting my head on the ice! I have just spent the week end with a van load of teenagers! Friday afternoon we packed the van and headed to Hampton for a Super Saturday with other teens from all over the Maritimes. Every time I do this I am amazed that there are really good young people out there. Hope for the future and all of that!
Saturday morning I watched four or five kids in a group visiting, soon it was 6 or 7. The circle just kept getting bigger and bigger. It was wonderful to watch little groups join together to make a big happy circle.
They laughed, shared stories and there might have been some showing off too. I was grateful that my darling children were part of it all.
I couldn't help thinking back to when I was that age. I am happy that my children have this opportunity.
Jacob and Colin stayed home this time. Jacob was very excited to have some time with his dad. I gave him strict instructions before leaving Not to give all of his hugs and snuggles away, but to save some for me. And I got the big mischievous smile I always get when I tell him this. They were heading to rent movies and grab some treats. Sometimes being left at home is a good thing!
I love these great people I call family and I am joyful for the time that we spend together. Things change so quickly and before I know it the time will be gone. So I feel happy for the exhaustion. It means I have been building memories and spending time with some really amazing people on the greatest journey of all.
I hope you have a memorable day with the people you love, I plan to!
