... to keep you up all night and still cause you to wake with a smile
... to throw multiple curve balls at your plans for the day
... to remind you of the simple joys in life, such as throwing Cheerios
... to help you find the fun in doing laundry and sorting old clothes
... to force you to get outside and realize it's not so cold after all
... to keep your pride in check
... to break your selfish spirit and get you to be more selfless
... to get you to "dance dance dance" to no music at all, just because
... to make sure the neighbors know you are not a perfect, have-it-all-together mommy
... to abolish all ideals of a well rounded diet
... to cherish your alone time
... to break your heart (in a good way) with the new found skill of unsolicited hugs and kisses
... to challenge the heck out of you with violent, unashamed tantrums over .... everything
... to make the Christmas tree look funny, since all the ornaments have to be high out of reach
... to improve your marriage (by necessity ... do, or die. Literally.)
... to bring the perfect amount of wonder and awe to normal every day experiences
... to provide a wonderful purpose for getting up in the morning ... with a huge mug of coffee
Nothing like a Joshua Nelson Lindeen to make me sigh, yawn, shake my head, and smile hugely, all at the same time.
Oh how I love the way you capture life.
