Forgiveness

In my life I have made mistakes.  I have made poor decisions.  I have done or said things that were inappropriate and down right wrong.  I am not perfect.

I have tried, with each poor decision, to learn a lesson.  Some lessons have been easier to learn then others.  I am still trying.  I am not perfect.

I have made peace with mistakes I have made and in turn found forgiveness from others.  I have owned up to my wrong doings and forgiven myself.  Some forgiveness is harder to achieve then others.  I am not perfect.

I have forgiven those who have wronged me.  In realizing I am not perfect I have learned that others are not perfect either. 

These are some of the most beautiful lessons that life has taught me. 

"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace." -Buddha

On Hearts and Happiness

Jakob and I made wax paper hearts today after school.  It was so easy, even for me, a totally uncrafty gal.  Jakob thought it was totally neat.  They turned out beautiful and now decorate all of our windows.   They make me happy and help chase away the February Blues.

Earlier today Aaron and I took a trip to WalMart for some groceries.  It was a sweet little mid-day date and we laughed at how lame it was that we were calling a trip to WalMart a "mid-day date".  It was cold and the wind was whipping around really hard but we were happy in our warm car with our hot cups of coffee.

At the moment Aaron and Jake are snuggling in the family room watching Mario cartoons while I start dinner.  My life makes me happy. 



Last night at bedtime Jakob told Aaron and I how he was so glad to be alive and that he loved his life. 

Me too sweetheart, me too.

Aaron
