I was finding myself a bit strung out with personal problems lately, my daughter's birthday is the Dec 11th and Christmas shortly after. Money is tight this year as I had to move 1200 miles this summer only to move back 3 months later. blah blah blah we all have problems, right? I picked my daughter up this morning with only 4 hours sleep and no time for coffee. We had a class at the local science factory about winter birds, I was not looking forward to it at all. My daughter is 3 years old and the thought of sitting in a room with 15-20 toddlers sounded like as much fun as a root canal. To top it off I had to pick her up from my x-wife's born again christian boyfriend. Long story short, we arrived at the museum and had one of the most intimate 1 on 1 times I think we have ever shared, doing nothing more than gluing a paper owl together and making a bird feeder out of a used milk carton. We laughed, talked and played for 2 hours. After dropping her off reality set in, I have the most wonderful gift I could ever hope for or deserve for that matter. Suddenly my problems have taken a backseat to the simple, expansive love I have for her. My wish is for everyone here to take a little time and appreciate the simple things this holiday season. take in the love from family, friends and most importantly your kids, if you have any. Take a little time to glue an "owl" of your own.
