A little girl in Trentan's kindergym class has a dad who is in a wheelchair. I've notcied that he always gets there early and then, when the kids are allowed to go in the classroom, he waits till all the kids and parents go in, and then waits some more for all the parents to come out again, and THEN he goes in to say sign in his daughter and say goodbye. He smiles as everyone passes him and waits so patiently for his turn. Last class, his wheelchair had brought in a lot of snow, and so he after he had said goodbye, he proceeded to clean up the puddle of melted snow. He then pushed himself outside, to his van, somehow got in and off he went. ( I saw all this cause I was blabbing with the teacher.) I just was so impressed with his positive attitude towards life and his situation. I need to remember the simple blessings that I am graced with everyday. It might be minus a patrillion outside but at least I can use my legs.
I also am grateful for dishwashers. To those of you who don't have one, or prefer to do the dishes by hand.....you are my HEROES!!!! Our dishwasher has died and I am forced into doing the stupid dishes by hand. My least favorite thing to do. And it takes SOOOO long. But, I am a clever fox. I leave the dishes dirty until the girls come home, and then I convince them that it would be so fun to do the dishes with me. Sneaky right?
