That day, the one that approaches on sneaky little feet, is rapidly approaching. Another year notched in the Totem pole of my life...looks a little like a grinning cat now. There will not be fireworks to commemorate the day, no marching bands, no lively old man with a fiddle and a knowing grin. This is all just fine with me as it is just another day on the calender.
My sweet Dad sent me a very unexpected gift, a heart pendant with a cross, which is beautiful in its self, but the inscription on the back made my day, my year and a lifetime of smiles. "My little girl yesterday, my friend today, my daughter forever." Yep, got a little teary, and it means so much to me. I quickly removed my heart necklace leftover from another time in my life, and replaced it with the new. If you know me, then you know I don't often change my jewelry, and this one will probably never be taken off.
I've spent the last several days with a very good friend who reminds me that we don't always have to behave, but to her credit it is usually me who is the troublemaker. I don't know, I believe it because I am free to be myself in her company. So much of life is spent at work acting the part that is expected by corporate. Smile, offer to help (which is not something I mind doing.) Coach and discipline, and don't share some of what is going on. There are days when I'd like to tear off the jacket and just be a troublemaker..lol.
I'm wondering what new things the coming year will bring. With a smile in my heart I am hoping for the good and wishing away the bad. (roll those sleeves up girl and wade right into the thick of it...) Changes are coming and I am ready.
If you are reading this Pop, a giant hug and many kisses..you made this ol'
gal very happy to be your daughter.
Hugs,
