I was going to post a list about my strong ,resilient daughter who turns 25 today but other things are flitting through my brain too.

The renewal that can come from resting and renewing for a day. Remembering what my Mom used to say,I changed into my p,j,’s after work which is an outward and inward signal this person is off the clock and on the couch.

Pampering myself with a shower,a nap,TV, quiet and down time.

Megan was our bonus child. The  family was complete when I found that the circle had to expand to include her. She became a family project. At a time when her siblings couldn’t agree on much,all agreed how terrific she was.

Meg has always been an inspiration to me. She is strong without sharp edges. She loves with intensity.She is a leader with potential.Megan never gives up. The sky’s the limit!

Jamie,  my son of the heart has a birthday today too. My oldest daughter dated him in college. When they broke up, no one was ready to have him disappear so we adopted him. He was Best Person at my oldest daughter’s wedding. He is always there when we need him. He is fun and smart. He choose Becca for his wife and now she has joined the clan.

New month. I love May!

Instead of yelling May Day in distress,I prefer to shout May days,Live your life to the fullest!
