thankful thoughts

My daughter had to write her 'thankful thoughts' for school
She wrote about her Gaga
We had dinner with Gaga and Papa Jim tonight
My daughter couldn't stop hugging her Gaga

As I sit outside and see over 30 trees 
in my backyard
some thin some thick
all bare and dark
against a magenta night sky
I am reminded of life's cycle

Now, I am in the cycle of parent
Homework, reminders, laundry,
teaching, setting rules, giving feedback
and finding moments to share and love

There is no better moment than now.

I am thankful for these moments
Grateful for healthy, happy children
Learning from every interaction
Joyful for family.
