Out here

Ever had a day when you wondered if you were screwing up your kids forever? I do! Between their squabbles, whining instead of obeying, begging for more screen time (constantly), and the rolled eyes that have become commonplace around here with three girls growing, I often wonder if they will turn out alright.And then, one of them will do or say something so mature, so sweet, so kind, that I think - maybe it will all work out. Rosy sang me this song from her "diary" today:"Out Here"I just want to be out herein the music with the bird's song.Being calmed,crickets singing their calming music,wind through the trees -that's the country -that's the way I live.You may have different ways to livebut I have funthe way my life is.Out where I am in the place I love.Mostly I am thankfulfor my family and my friendswho I spend my life with.I think all the counting of gifts has rubbed off on her. I am so thankful that they are soaking it up, little sponges that they are. And that the good still seems to outweigh the bad.
