One of my friends shared this link awhile back. (Was it you, Lisa Brunke Robinson?) I really love the article; its one that keeps coming back to mind. One of my favorite ways to be kind is: Keep the sigh to yourself. One day last week, while driving in the afternoon with Cameron in tow, I sighed heavily because someone would not let us over into the right lane in time to turn. He picked up on the sound right away: Mommy, dont do that! I apologized, thinking, I should have kept that sigh to myself! and saying, Sorry, I guess Im in kind of a bad mood right now. He offered: Mommy, you’re in a bad mood? I will cheer you up… GOOGLE!!! [This is what Greg always says to get him to smile for photos. I guess we have a pretty geeky kid who will shriek in laughter at the mention of the word for a one with one hundred zeros after it, or the name of the search engine.] Ha ha! That cheered you up, right Mommy?? I love this child. If only I can be so kind to him. If only he will grow up to always be so perceptive and kind...
