Just a pebble

Ok. Too much. I was sitting here...very early I might add for a Sunday, ruminating over my thoughts and how I was going to put them out here. When suddenly, this rolling thunder comes streaming forth from my daughters bedroom. She is snoring. Only briefly, but it shocked the heck out of me. My little feminine flower... :p

Yesterday, reminded me how to be thankful and so appreciative of what I have. Not only with my daugher, she is amazing and shows me daily how proud I am of her. She got right in there with us yesterday to help with family and not a complaint or whine about any of it. She was happy and enthusiastic. I just gloat with pride in seeing the kind of person she can be and that she understands the importance of being there for someone when they need you. It is a quality so many people lack with all the self importance they carry around.

I saw my brother-in-law work hard to help regardless of any flack he received because of a possible accident he may have caused. But ya know, had the event not happened, there may have been other consequences far greater down the road. Had the pipe not broken, the exposed wires on the water heater may have been found by one of the children and the shock would have been much more for them to withstand versus their mother. There are reasons for every situation and event. And sometimes it is hard to see at the moment why there is reason to be thankful for what seems to be so difficult and full of effort. All is good and everyone is fine. And now the home is that much safer for their arrival.

I had intended to write something a bit more deep and philosophical. Something that has been going around in my head without an outlet for a time now. But it is funny how something as simple as a snore...can send your mind in a completely different direction. There is reason for everything and for that, I can be patient.
