FAMILY--"SOWING THE SEEDS OF LOVE"

Last night I started reflecting on an old Carpenter's song.  I love the words: 

"Sometimes, not often enough

 We reflect upon the good things

 And those thoughts always center around those we love

And I think about those people

Who mean so much to me

And for so many years have made me

So very happy

And I count the times

I have forgotten to say, thank you

And just how much I love them"

I introduced my family the day I started my blog.  So, I'll just say that this is a collage of the 15 of us:  My oldest daughter, Merrin, her husband, Jason, and their 4 children--Logan, Eliza, Lucas and Anderson;  Nate and his wife Nathalie and their daughter, Paige;  Emily and her husband, Trevor;  Libby, Cole, my husband, Terry, and  me. My desire for them is best said by T. Alan Armstong:  "This is my wish for you. Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, and love to complete your life.
