I stopped by my brother's company this morning to pick up my mom (73), who incidentally works for him a few days a week when she isn't helping me in my preschools or babysitting her younger grandchildren. She is having some tests done this afternoon at Sunnybrook Hospital. I looked at her smiling face as we hopped into the car,
calm, confident and full of chatter.
I thought wow what a woman. She taught me how to be a good mother, how to work tirelessly to raise a family, to be patient and accepting of people's shortcoming. She's full of zest. She'll ride a catamaran, try snorkeling, ride the coasters at Universal Studio with her teenage granddaughters and I thought how lucky am I to still have her in my life.
Day three of what inspires me!
ReplyDeleteA couple of weeks ago I had to retire my green honda that I've had for 20 years, it was with a heavy heart that I had to do that.In it's place I placed a gray car.The children associate the green car with me and when the car is not there they are sad because they know I am not there. Well one child entered the school and said, "Mrs. Rosa look someone is in your spot tell them to move so you can put your car there". That was priceless it's so good to be loved. WHAT AN INSPIRATION
Children have a way of making us feel special-You must be a remarkable woman!
DeleteRemove the smallest and significant detail from a child's daily life and their world changes....you are an important person and it shows:)
DeleteI am remarkable because I surround myself with loving and caring friends and family.
DeleteDay 3: Is it selfish to say that something as simple as my morning coffee inspires me? Let me back it up a bit....Perhaps its the smiling face and cheerful young lady that greets me each and every morning. Without fail, there she is,smiling and asking hows my morning and wishes me a good day. Or perhaps its the time i get to spend with my daughter alone before she goes to school. Both, inspire me to start my day in a great mood!!!
