Movie...

Someone gave my daughter a movie to watch called "About Time", so one night I decided to watch it. It has now become one of my favorite movies and one I would have no problem watching again. I won't give you any hints only that it is just a "happy" movie. The celebration of the present moment is the ending theme. I'm so glad I got a chance to watch a movie I probable might never have picked myself. 

Teenagers...

I've had a few teenagers in my life the last couple of years ( not my own) and they all seem to crave an adult who is present and available. I don't know the full story of each child, but I do know what I see. I think sometimes as a society we think just because are kids are teens that they don't need us as much, and while this is true in one sense, I believe in a different way they need us just as much as ever! I'm SO grateful that I have been able to be available and present to my children and though that can't solve all their problems, I do know it makes a difference.
