Why don't kids get tired?




Why is it that when you are a kid, you don't get tired? it's time to go to bed, and you are just not tired. Now when you get to be my age (41), Woah! totally different story. I'm tired way before it's time to go to bed. I'm actually sitting with my kids and hubby watching TV, and trying super hard to not snooze away. I look at the clock as if it weren't on my side, "how in the world can it be 8:00 pm, if I'm already tired as heck". As we sit there together enjoying one of our favorite shows, I'm secretly thinking of that magical time..........when I go to my room and throw on some pajamas. Go to the bathroom - brush my teeth, wash my face, put my "anti-wrinkle" cream on, and creep into my lovable, cozy bed. That's one thing I absolutely love!! my bed. I find my bed so comforting, like snuggling in a big soft nest made of cushiony clouds. It's my personal sanctuary, a place were I find much needed rest and much needed love. hehehe. Sorry, I had to throw that in there. But back to my question..........why don't kids get tired? they go through their whole day, up and down, jumping, running.......no naps!. What magical powers do these little creatures have? I guess I was once one of them, and then I grew and life just happened.........and those little creatures sucked the living energy out of me! I still wouldn't have it any other way, and I will still find energy and rest in my precious bed, always.

A best friend is forever




I have the greatest of blessings, and that is the one of having a true best friend. I have known my best friend for the past 24 years, so I needn't say that we have been through quite a lot in those years, mostly fun times though. We've been there for each other through thick and thin, through being new-brides, to new-moms, to just about everything. I've never known a person with such joy and love in their heart. A person as precious as my friend, a person that sees the positive in everything. My friend brings a smile to my face every time I think of our times together. Being with her is always the best of times. I thank God for this great gift, the gift of friendship. She's an amazing woman and I'm oh so lucky to have her as a friend. My life wouldn't be what it's been without my precious friend. She's taught me a lot about life and about being strong. She's in my life for a reason and I'm thankful for that.


To good friends that never leave no matter what. And to the many happy times we've shared.


Love you!!! my best friend!!!
