From Mary to Ali and Me to you

Loved this quote on Ali Edwards Blog today... and I so need to take it to heart- the kids are back from their week in the South Island and a little off kilter and life is a LOT noisier!

"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return." ~Mary Jean Iron
