This was a drive-by shooting… with the camera phone, on my way home from work.

Dreary, rainy, blah Monday. Lots to be accomplished that didn’t even get started this evening after work… and I don’t even mind because I’m ready for bed and tomorrow is another day.

My niece and my daughter enjoyed playing on their cousins’ trampoline today.

224/365+ proof of God’s love

I didn’t feel like doing much of anything yesterday. My husband, daughters and I went to Muskegon to my sister’s house. I talked with my family about a few things and as I was talking to my mom, I thought about my kids and my relationship with them. There were times when my mom wasn’t really present when I was a child. She was there, but not. Some bad things happened. In our ability to forgive one another, I felt God’s love and was also comforted by the knowledge that I have a decent relationship with my mom now, and I am thankful that while sometimes I feel like I’d like to retreat and hide from the world, I force myself to be present for my children. Kids cannot comprehend that when a parent is depressed, it’s not got anything to do with them. It’s easier for me to try to stay up and moving than to have to try to explain to them and hope someday they’d forgive me.

One glancing at this photo, not knowing my brother’s aversion to being photographed, would probably think this a rather dull photo. The little boy is my nephew, my brother’s son. He was so happy when I showed this picture to him. “That me and my daddy,” he said, with a huge smile. It’s definitely not dull to him.
