August One Happiness Challenge



August is finally here. This has been a crazy summer. The kids have been out of school since May 2 and we still have until September 2 before they will return. But I have been happy to have them home for the summer. They are so helpful when it comes to Papa. And they are so patient with him (when I am sometimes losing my patience). They love him unconditionally. Isn't that what love should be about. As we age I think it is easy to lose patience and forget about unconditional love. So for today, August 1, 2013, I am happy that Darian and Harley (and Paige when she has been here) have been around to love and care for their Papa

    That is something to be happy about, Paula. I was very fortunate to have my great-mother until she was 99, and my grandmother is now 80. Kids are usually better than adults when it comes to being patient and loving unconditionally.

      It is because we passed a bond issue to update and build new schools and they want to take advantage of the summer weather. We have longer school days for the next couple of years to make up for it!

    You and Richard should be very proud of these wonderful kids you raised. They sound like great kids.

    I am so happy you have the kids to help a little with the situation. You are a wonderful granny. That unconditional love runs both ways as well.
