It has been a beautiful morning today. Hasn't it? It seems refreshing to look out as far as I could see, everything is so bright and clean! Libbee spent quite a bit of time taking pictures of it all around us before she left for school. I was grateful for the fresh look on things. I want to take the idea of "A Fresh Outlook" it into my thoughts today. I want to begin 'anew' in some relationships and situations. The thoughts of this seemed overwhelming. How can I fix things alone? "It isn't just my fault or even a little bit my fault." Today the whiteboard is wiped clean, there will be no fault. One step at a time. There may not be a second step for months, I think that is ok.
It is a bittersweet beautiful morning for Lib She said goodbye to her best friend last night. The Air force will be picking him up at noon to take him to begin his training for the air force. After his goodbyes to Lib, he came and graciously thanked Bobby and I. We hugged him and wished him well. He is very much a gentleman. His parents have taught him respect. It was our pleasure to have him in our home. We will be praying for him.
Saturday we had a good time watch Daffnee play ball. She is really beginning to enjoy it. After we toured our new hospital and reminsced about our sweet Grandma aand mother as one of the birthing rooms is in her name. She is a beautiful mother of 9. I think about her often , I see her mannerisms and wonderful traights she instilled in Bobby, for instance service. I am so glad that I was prompted to thank her for the boy that she raised so lovingly and tender. He is sensitive and strong. I am grateful to her.
Just one more thing today. I can't wait! I found this quote that sums up what I have tried to teach my children for 27 years! I am so excited to share it. When Beau and Jessica get settled in their new home I can't wait to bug her to cut it in vinyl for me.
Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you - not
because THEY are nice, but because YOU ARE.
I totally know some of you are thinking "why doesn't she practice what she preaches?" My bad. I am sorry.

Becky--you are inspiring.. You have such a good heart! Love your blog!
That IS such a great quote. It's hard to take the higher ground sometimes, especially when my feelings get hurt. I feel so bad I didn't make it to the open house. You will have to tell me more about Bobby's mother sometime soon. We're excited to have Daff over on Monday. Happy Valentine's Day!
BEc!! I had so much fun talking with you this weekend! Love you
