Margaret, don't look up to me -- yikes! I'm just muddling through, as we all are. :)Karen Edmisten https://www.blogger.com/profile/04446214835142625161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-86672788940074632009-09-17T18:27:26.035-05:002009-09-17T18:27:26.035-05:00Beautifully and poignantly written!

Cute glasses!
I hop...You changed your blog photo! Cute glasses! <br /><br />I hope you don't mind my saying that I look up to you and learn from you. I am "just" enough younger than you to do that, you know! (Not to worry--I am still plenty older than plenty of people.) When I think of your family, I think of a family rich with dialogue, and I wish I could be a guest at the table with a cup of coffee in hand.<br /><br />Love to those beautiful girls of yours. They are so very blessed to have a mom like you, a mom who listens...and loves...and respects...and cares.<br /><br />And you made me think with your words about keeping their lives private. More and more as my kids get older, I am asking them, "Is it okay if I write about this?" I pray for the grace to discern what to say and what not to say, that my words may bless and never curse. <br /><br />Have a beautiful day, my friend. <br /><br />PS. Go, Marines! :)Margaret in Minnesotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603439076606550856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-14340898281201421822009-09-16T07:02:01.589-05:002009-09-16T07:02:01.589-05:00Thanks for the comment, Barb, and yes on both cou...Thanks for the comment, Barb, and yes on both counts -- erring on the side of sensitivity and loving the comic relief. :)Karen Edmisten https://www.blogger.com/profile/04446214835142625161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-7272281484588316472009-09-15T18:06:47.163-05:002009-09-15T18:06:47.163-05:00I also have 2 teens (17 and 13) and a second-grade...I also have 2 teens (17 and 13) and a second-grader, and things are pretty much the same here as far as "who gets blogged the most." It's a delicate balance, and I'd rather err on the side of being more sensitive than I have to be to my older kids.<br /><br />Isn't it fun to still have that younger one around, though? I need the kind of comic relief he provides.Barb Szyszkiewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329184613713551475noreply@blogger.com
