contentment




If you cannot see the mountains
Do not grumble or complain;

There is beauty in the flowers
As they grow upon the plain.






If you cannot see the ocean
Do not go about and sigh'
Just you climb to some green hilltop
And then watch the clouds go by.



There is beauty all around you
If you but the beauty see.


I tend to have these tendencies............
If I live near the ocean,
I long to see the mountains.
When I lived around fields of wheat,
I wanted the ocean.
What I need to do,
Is see beauty in my own front yard...........

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
