My Cup Runneth Over

Tonight I feel thankful. I had a good conversation with my brother which was a long time coming. Long story short, he and I had it out last week during the stressful time of losing a beloved family friend.

He called me tonight and I think we reached a turning point. We had a good conversation and I am very thankful for that. The last person I want to fight with is my own brother--he's the only sibling I have.

My youngest son and I just read a good night story and just as I was about to tuck him in, he reached up to hug me and surprised me by giving me a goodnight kiss; he has never given out many kisses, even when he was a very tiny child.

My oldest son has his big end-of-the-year disco dance tomorrow and I am thrilled at the idea of being a chaperone! It's been a lot of fun watching him grow over the years. He had a band concert at school the other day and I swelled with pride watching him play. The stinker even told me in a very blase manner that he made 1st chair. I told him that's a big deal and how proud I was of him.

I love the little things in life. It's not about money or what material posessions you have. Moments are what matter most and what I will always cherish. Life is good.
