If You See Something Beautiful....

Corey got married Labor Day Weekend.  

If I told you the truth about my worries you'd punch me in the face. Same shit, different month. 

Lisa's a living walking worry wart anxiety riddled freak.  We know this, kids. 

Back when he asked Kris to be in his wedding, I truly pleaded with God to allow the day to happen. 

I secretly have this check list of things I want my kids to experience.

You know the chapters in this life.  What we want them to see and do.

And be a part of. 

Kris was coming off a bad flu again.  But he was there.

Big camera in hand. His dimple filled smile. 

His bony knees, and silly attitude. 

Fist bumps for those he doesn't know that well.

Hugs and BIGGER hugs for those he does.

God is good. 

Sometimes He scares me, but He is so so good. 

He lost 7 pounds this last round of sickness.  But this last weekend his body filled itself back up again. With energy.  With something I can't explain. I can only feel.  Our morning chats change daily. And even though this gloomy Monday was a typical groggy Monday....

It was so so beautiful to share his weekend of good times. 

At a concert. 

Gardening.

Visiting his favorite nursery close by.  A place where the old man is really kind to him. 

These days fill my heart.

Kris is drawn to kind humans.

And he dishes it right back.

We have succulents and cactus' to fill a desert, I'll just say that much.

Makes him happy? Makes ME happy. 

It's like a warm blanket on a cold day.  

It's the Mercy I begged for. 

It's all a miracle, really.

We never know what tomorrow will bring. 

But if we can love on those we have today.

Do it. 

And so.....

Little fact: Their photographer arrived a little late.  She was a tad bit offended when she saw Kris' big camera out.  But then he caught this.

And it was one of her favorites....

See something BEAUTIFUL?  Say it.
Catch it.
Show it.

If you receive something beautiful.......(Kaitlyn and Kevin in Hawaii September 2018)

You tell that family. You tell that best friend of yours just how beautiful they are.  If we can all give one big round of applaud to Bert whom has worked his ass off with NutriSystem to look this way. To feel good. To be here. To do this.

High Five BERT! 

You all look amazing. 

We're sitting ducks under the full moon tonight and tomorrow....

So be pleasant. 

Hide.

Or seek kind people. 

Be peaceful in your spicy thoughts.  Let the little things go, and pray for the big scary things.

Pray for good health.  For nice people.

Most of all, 

love.

Compliment those serving you.  You NEVER know what someone is battling.

Happy Monday.  Some weren't lucky enough to wake up and have an able body to do move.

To live. 

Some had to take on news they never ever thought they'd hear. 

Having a tough day?

Pray.

Hard.

See something beautiful?  Speak it.
