For My Family

I am beginning this blog for my children.  I often hear myself wishing away my day, in hopes that tomorrow will be different . . . that the problems we face today would disappear like the hot wind blowing on my cheeks when a cool rain appears.  I truly do not wish this.  I wish Every Day Were Today.

I wish everyone had the opportunity to hug their children every morning when they wake and to kiss them goodnight when it's time for bed.  I wish everyone had the opportunity to fight so they could make-up afterwards.  I wish everyone could feel pain so they could appreciate joy and joy so that the pain would dissipate.  I wish everyone had someone they could call friend, lover, companion.

Today I do not wish away my day.  I embrace today with all it brings, in hopes that I may learn to be a better mother, wife, companion, friend, employee, giver, receiver, and servant.

I wish every day were like today.
