Humpday Thought

Some things say..hey it's Humpday better than others... here's a Humpday Thought that says that for me.

Big Mud Puddles and Sunny Yellow Dandelions - Author Unknown

When I look at a patch of dandelions, I see a bunch of weeds that are
going to take over my yard. My kids see flowers for Mom and blowing
white fluff you can wish on.

When I look at an old drunk and he smiles at me, I see a smelly, dirty
person who probably wants money and I look away. My kids see someone
smiling at them and they smile back.

When I hear music I love, I know I can't carry a tune and don't have
much rhythm so I sit self-consciously and listen. My kids feel the beat
and move to it. They sing out the words. If they don't know them, they
make up their own.

When I feel wind on my face, I brace myself against it. I feel it
messing up my hair and pulling me back when I walk. My kids close their
eyes, spread their arms and fly with it, until they fall to the ground
laughing.

When I pray, I say thee and thou and grant me this, give me that. My
kids say, "Hi God! Thanks for my toys and my friends. Please keep the
bad dreams away tonight. Sorry, I don't want to go to Heaven yet. I
would miss my Mommy and Daddy."

When I see a mud puddle I step around it. I see muddy shoes and dirty
carpets. My kids sit in it. They see dams to build, rivers to cross,
and worms to play with.

I am convinced that we are given kids to learn from. If we only listen
they will teach us to enjoy the little things in life, for one day we
may look back and realize they were the big things.

I wish you Big Mud Puddles and Sunny Yellow Dandelions!!!
