So....as far back as I can remember, Mom & I would listen to Bruce Springsteen and talk about how we'd marry him one day...yep, that's right...both of us, lol. Not too sure how that all was gonna work out, but it sounded good to us and we agreed (wink, wink). What did I really know about anything in 3rd grade....well...I knew that I REALLY liked his music and that he was "The Boss". And it's funny, b/c he's someone I still listen to today & he's even made it to my ipod. YAY for shuffle & The Boss when he comes on!!
I've been wanting to post one of his songs for awhile now, but wasn't sure which one until today. I thought "Glory Days" seemed appropriate.
I try to teach E&K to enjoy their days today, but I also try to teach them the value of today. I know that sounds silly, I mean, they're only 6 1/2 (they'll be 7 next week)... But I want them to love others, be kind to others, be thoughtful, be polite....be all of the things that God planned & hoped for us to be to ourselves & others. I want them to be happy with every "today" that they have. I don't want them to look back & wish for the past to be their present. I feel like if we are kind... loving... thoughtful... & polite that we can be happy with our choices and we won't need to look back to find our "Glory Days" but rather we can look at all of our days as "Glory Days".
Some of the ways that Mom & I have "Glory Days" are just having fun, smiling & laughing at ourselves...I'll have to ask permission before I post pictures, lol. Sometimes we wear pink wigs up to the doctor's office, or in public, you never know! We've had SO many comments & compliments when we do that...we should do it more often. And sometimes just painting each other's finger/toenails is fun, except for Mom when I spend an hour painting JUST her toes. Sorry Mom!!
I hope today is a "Glory Day" for you & those that you love....
MUCH LOVE,
Daughter
