I love reading your daybook, Jenny–it makes me feel like I live just down the street instead of way back in NE!

Thanks for taking time to do it!

I feel very blessed to have lived so long. Who knows? I might live as long as my Mom who was 99 when she died. I just hope I can stay healthy and alert–at least I think I’m alert! I feel bad that your grandpa didn’t live long enuf to see those beautiful girls of yours–as well as the rest of our great grandchildren. I kinda think he’s probably watching over us.
Love your writing. It’s very special, Jenny
Love you all. gg

Nice Daybook!

I was also blessed to know all (but one) of my grandparents and 4 of my great-grandparents as well. When Morgan was born, she had two great-great grandmothers and when Maddie was born, she had a great-great grandmother. It’s a priceless gift that God gives us.

Another long-distance parent/grandparent idea I’ve heard: have them videotape themselves reading a book that you have. The children can then read along. I did this when I was going to be gone (to CO) for a week a couple of years ago.

I had to remember the ‘happy’ thing this morning too. It was turning out to be a rough morning and I felt a little sad for no particular reason. Then I remembered two single moms who are close to me, decided to offer it up, and felt better almost instantly. We–especially Americans–have so much to be grateful for. I’m always embarrassed when I’m unhappy but it’s so easy to allow myself to feel discouraged.

So now I’m curious. What song was special to you?
