Wow.
What a difference
a few words can make.
~ My William
As the only child
since his sister
flew the coop
with her school
group to Italy
last week, my
son and I have
been spending a lot
of time together.
Like the State baseball
tournament, where
we cheered our
varsity team on to
win the consolation
prize......
And our bicycle ride with
the bigger boy ~
aka his dad and my
hubby ~ on Father's
Day....
A few meals out.
Table for three.
Table for three.
And errands together.
A two-some.
Like the old days,
when his sister was
in school and he was
the little brother,
longing to be there
with her, but also
happy to be my
co-pilot as we cruised
through days that were
gone in a heartbeat.
After we dropped his sister off
last week in the wee hours of the
morning, we celebrated
her travel adventure over
breakfast at our local
mom and pop establishment.
Our waitress was a
real grump.
real grump.
Today we
took ourselves to
another local eatery,
where we felt like
royalty, simply because
we were thanked
several times for visiting
and also told by at least
two employees to have
two employees to have
a great day.
And that brings me back
to William's quote....
He noticed.
Which is saying something
when you are 12 and a
half and your head is
filled with baseball and
X-Box and wanting to
start your own business.
Hotel California, too!}
Last year I happened upon
a small but powerful little
book, titled Silver Boxes. It
was about the importance of
positive words; how they
are really like wonderfully
wrapped gifts for those who are
lucky enough to receive them.
When William noticed the
silver boxes that had been
eagerly handed our way
at the pancake house this
morning, it got me
thinking.
Thinking about you and
all of the wonderful silver
boxes that I receive with
each and every comment that
you leave here for me.
Words that lift.
Words that sing.
Words that edify.
Words that humble.
Words that bless.
And I am certain that
you are the type
you are the type
of person who also gives
silver boxes ~ those few
kind words ~ to others that
you encounter every day.
{And probably don't even
realize it!}
Thank you for that.
I truly, truly
thank you.
thank you.
Now I'm off to finish
laundry and do some weeding
and pay bills that are due
and book plane tickets
for our summer holiday.
We are still grasping a
bit to find our new summer
normal around here, especially
with our girl being gone.
But we're getting there.
Things ramp up over the next
month starting Monday, when
I'll become reacquainted
with my chauffeur's cap.
Until then, I'm going to
enjoy cheering at my son's
baseball games and listening
to tween boy conversation
in the car as we head to the
DQ with his buddies afterwards
for a Blizzard or a Mr. Misty : )
And if I can inject a few kind
words along the way, I'm going
to try my darnedest to do
just
that!
Kind words are a creative force,
a power that concurs with the
building up of all that is good,
and an energy that showers
blessings upon the world.
