Thinking... of kindness.

I am thinking about a lot of things.  Trying to adjust... sugar beets are nearly over but then corn harvest begins...  I miss Luke being around all the time.  Sarah is becoming more demanding.  She sleeps through the night but doesn't nap well.  I walk the dog a lot.  It's nice, it gets me outside.

Last week was tough, maybe one of the hardest.  Josie had a hard time... one of the children in her class had a tragedy.  It hit close to home and hurt my heart to see my baby in pain again... life is so cruel, how can it be so beautiful?  So grateful that this world is not all there is.

This week I'm thinking a lot about a special little boy.  I didn't get to meet him, but I will someday.  His Mama told his story so well that I know him, she keeps him alive in her words and her awesomeness, her strength and her spirit.  I am glad she is my family.  Her little boy, he is keeping company with my girl in Heaven... it would hurt your eyes to see how beautiful they are.  In my minds eye they look alike, Marie and Quin, dark haired, smiling eyes.  Chubby fingers, tiny baby toes and bigger two year old toes.  She is probably teaching him to be naughty and bossing him around.

Do something kind for someone this week...  too many people carry crosses that we don't see.  Too many hearts hurt, too many are burdened, too many feel alone.  Join me in Random Acts of Kindness to remember a special little man...

Blowing kisses to Heaven...
