Mady...

She's growing up and finding her way. As the oldest, she tends to get more heat from me. My expectations are high and I think I'm tougher on her than I should be at times. Seeing this image....I see my little girl. Unsure...with lots of things rattling around in her noggin. More than anything, I'm hopeful she'll come to find the loving, creative, passionate person that she is. There will be no stopping her from there...

Madygirl...

Undivided, complete focus on one person is pretty hard to come by these days.

We all need it...

...and whether we admit it or not, on some level we all crave it.

I'm thankful for the few minutes that we shared here.

They're rare.

Valuable.

...and I need to remind myself to intentionally carve them out for everyone that matters to me.
