Since I've been reflecting a lot on gifts lately, I thought it only proper to take a minute and be thankful for the gift of my new Iraqi friends, especially my young friend Rota.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Children are such a blessing! They help me to remember what's really important ("one more" race to the playground), to appreciate the small things (Eric Carle puzzle books), and to not take myself so seriously (ribbons placed on my head). Yesterday my visit with my friends completely made my whole day.
I echo the sentiments of Rota who said as I left, "I miss you." Walking away from their home, I missed them already!
Two Sinatra songs on the theme, because I'm a dork:
You Make Me Feel So Young
Young at Heart
