I may have said that before -- the universe provides.
It's been a catch phrase of my existence for some
time.  Combine that with Mike Dooley's Note from
the Universe this morning -- I get them in my
email on weekdays -- about being happy, and here
we are.

I was exhausted tonight after teaching.  I have a great
class, and it was good tonight, but I drink a lot of
coffee to keep going, and felt like I'd hit the wall
when I got home.  I was not going to blog, but I am
blogging daily now, and didn't want to stop.

So I went looking for something to write about and
came upon this sweet portrait of my sons that touched
at my heartstrings.  I love those boys, now men, so much.
I feel so grateful for the experience of being a mother.
And I am so lucky that they grew up to be wonderful
men.  This painting brings back the delights of having
children in the house.  At this nostalgic time of year,
it seems appropriate.

Have a loving your family day.
