My Little Girl




My little girl is Shannon. She actually isn't a little girl anymore, but, I remember her as a baby so clearly, in my mind's eye. She was a beautiful baby. She was a happy little girl who loved to please anyone who crossed her path. She was, and is, the center of my world.




She is grown now, into this amazing young woman. I see hope and direction in her life. I see that she has valid reasoning, and strong values. I am so grateful that she has blossomed into the person she is since, often, her journey has been full of obstacles that have not been easy to overcome.




I am so proud of her, and the path she has chosen. Her path may not be conventional in everyone's eyes, but it is perfect for hers. My daughter's determination and endurance is amazing. She trudges along towards goals that she sees above her , but every day are closer, and she knows most definitely that she will attain.




Shannon has found the man who will be her husband. They were engaged on a trip last year. They are now planning their wedding.




Shannon and her Jeffrey booked their wedding venue yesterday. Her Step-father, myself, Jeff and Shannon, and Jeff's parents all went to see where they are planning on making their vow of love to each other. It was a beautiful day to share in this part of the wedding planning experience.




They will be wed on a farm, outside, hopefully on a day with weather like yesterday. They have chose to not be wed conventionally in a church building. They will be married by a pastor or priest.




I was hoping for a church wedding, but after I thought about their decision, I realized that a church is not a building, but people together in the presence of God. I know God will be there smiling on my children as they commit their love to each other.




Raising Shannon has been the most amazing blessing. It is a very tender time for me as her Mother, knowing she will now become one with Jeffrey. Jeffrey is a good man, who adores my daughter. I am thankful she has found someone who cherishes her.




Am I turning into a sap?

Amen

Dear Lord:

Help those who are hurting. Fill their hearts with the love and peace that only you can give.

Amen

Crash

I am not happy. I stupidly stepped on a hunk of glass and it went in my foot. The only good thing is that it went in and out cleanly. I am thoroughly mad since tomorrow is the day that we have planned to go to Shannon and Jeffrey's wedding venue choice. I can't walk and I am really sad. This is not putting me in a good mood. Actually, I am really pissed off.

Rick is out getting something for me to soak my foot in and all bigger bandages and ointment. So much for all I need to get done this weekend. Lovely.

Customer Service/Oxymoron

If time is money
and
money is time,
then,
why
do I
even bother
to try
to correct
their
error
on
MY
invoice
over the
phone
with a
CUSTOMER SERVICE
representative
since
everytime
I try to correct their
mistake,
it takes
an hour,
and gives me
a headache.
I think that
my hour
is worth more
than the
$19.99
error
I found
on their
invoice.
Shouldn't
THEY
be
PAYING
Me?

Just my humble opinion.

Do you have an asprin?
