Thank you for including me in your gratitude journal. I love you!
ReplyDeleteI love your grateful heart, and I love the happy smiling faces of your children all together. And also, I don't feel old enough to be a former babysitter for children that are all adults now. But then, I also don't feel old enough to have a 12 year old. And that's totally about to happen. Where does time go?
