Fun Friday... check out my special
Today I woke up to find out the phone was not in service. So I am sorry if I was not available to take your call. I did get a chance to go and visit my parents, and enjoy the gorgeous sun. The key to happiness is finding the blessing in all situations.
I love my job on KEEN, but I believe I was given a little vacation for a very good reason. My parents have both been very ill. My stepdad suffers with pain on a daily basis and doctors have said there is nothing more they can do. My mom needs gallbladder surgery but refuses to leave her husband, and she certainly is filled with fears. I have offered that they come and live with me, but I have respected that they love their freedom and home.
There is nothing like having their grandsons drop by for a visit to help lift their spirits. My little adopted guy with Down syndrome certainly can bring a smile to their faces. He has been a constant joy to their hearts and today was no different. He's always teased his grandmother by withholding hugs since she tried to force feed him baby food he didn't like. Yet he is Pop Pop's boy with hugs and kisses. He did give his Grammy a kiss and hug goodbye, but he teased her a bit before hand.
Again, the key to happiness is finding the good even in the worst situations and staying positive about what is to come. I've been so blessed to have parents who have been supporting and loving, even when they did not understand my gifts. They have taken in my adopted son while my in-laws have no part of me or any of my children. I have learned acceptance, and certainly to count my blessings. Life is not always easy, but we can be happy when we focus on the good. So when your life is not going YOUR direction or the way you would hope, look for the window of opportunity. I believe there is a divine plan, and sometimes it's beyond our understanding.
I wish you love, laughter, light and happiness! Have a fun friday, and enjoy today!
