Her sweet words truly melted my heart and I thanked her from the bottom of my heart. But in a quiet honesty told her, "Eh, I have just become really good at polishing turds."
It's all in how you see things.

don't know if it is a charmed life, but its better than sitting in a pile of manure
While attending my grandparents' 70th wedding anniversary party today, our family got to spend time with some of our Very. Favorite. People. On. Earth. I received a very kind compliment from my aunt. She follows my blog and is impressed at the life I am giving to my family. She went on to say that she liked the way I write and that my words paint a picture of a charmed life.

HAHAHA-polishing turds!
ReplyDeleteShe's absolutely right-you have a gift, well many creative gifts. And I would say other than being a wonderful mother/teacher/friend, your calling is writing.
Wow, your grandparents are still alive, and celebrating their 70th anniversary?! Wow! How cool!
ReplyDeleteMary, in addition to my swollen feet and ankles from all those weak margaritas the other night, I now have a "swollen head". LOL
