Sometimes life stinks real bad and I get the blues. But then I get reminded of the graces around me.
Like when my best friend in the entire world gets married to a wonderful guy...
Or when a sissy I love comes home for a spell just in the nick of time...
Or when all I want to do is hang out with a 7 lb person,
and I find out this little girl feels the same way...
Or when I find little bums picking tonight's dinner in the backyard...
And turn around to see a deserving Poppie drink a cold beer after a hard days work...
Or when I learn this little man has perfect pitch...
And it dawns on me that I have few memories in life before I was an aunt...
...which means I get to see my sisters be good mommas...
And evenings at the house look like this...
Then after all this I think, life may definitely stink sometimes, but mine will never be bad. And I thank God for the tender mercies He sends my way.
