Perfect Day!

I have to say one more thing! TODAY was a perfect day! In my "older" ish......;) age (40 something...) I have learned to appreciate the small things that life has to offer. This morning I went to my eight year old daughter's award ceremony at her school. She won some awards. However she wasn't the one up on the stage every time there was an award! That is so O.K.! I know my daughter, I see all the wonderful things she has to offer this society. SHE'S AN ARTIST!!!!! ;)......She gets decent grades. G's and O's.......which in todays standards would be A's and B's. What more could a parent ask for! We work hard on her homework every night. We read books. Good books. Junie B. Jones! They are the best!!!!!!! However, I feel, as an artist, while it is important to keep good grades, that is not what makes the world go 'round! ART is WHAT MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND!!!!!!

My sweet daughter is the next generation. She has something to say in her pretty little white skirt!

Hi Tiffany!

Well, she "didn't" keep that white skirt clean!!! I've just learned to just go with the flow. I'm an expert in getting out stains! Who cares about stains really if my daughter is able to experience the FUN things in life!!!!

I learned quite a few years ago to appreciate the small things in life and yes, getting an "A" in ever subject is great, but not what really matters in life. I never understood why schools didn't offer "Life Lesson" type classes. Instead of knowing where/when "Train A" meets "Train B" {who cares really, never used that yet in life}. Why don't they teach "appreciating life, respecting, caring, helping other people, how to be civil to each other, etc.....just how to handle Life Lessons in today's world and putting feelings into art! :)
It would make such a world of difference!
So Yea! for your daughter on being an artist...I bet she is a doll!
And by the way......how did she keep her white skirt clean with that fun bucket of mud!? :)
Such a cute picture~

I couldn't agree with you more Julie. The pride we feel in our children -- for the unique personalities, for their gifts -- their individual creativity. It is a gift!
