I am home sick today. Aches, pains, chills, fever sort of stuff. I can not remember the last time I have not gone to church because I was sick, I hate missing church. I am hoping and praying I will be better a week from today as my family and I will be sitting on the beach in Mexico :)Today, as I lounged endlessly on the couch I watched Little Bear with Burger (home sick too) for the umpteenth time. That was Doueys FAVORITE show of all time from the time she could walk and I have to say quite possibly mine too. It is the sweetest little show ever. I have often thought that if I could be more like Mother Bear, life would be a sweeter place.
Things I have learned from Mother Bear
* Whistle while you work
* Play pretend
* Do not be afraid to laugh
* The joy a cupcake or chocolate cake can create
* Patience is easy and a choice (granted she only has 1 little bear not 5)
* Tone of voice is everything
* Playing is important too
* Being gentle goes a long way
* No reason to be in such a rush. Low down.
* Bake more
* Love more
* Sing more
* Enjoy more
* Laugh more
Ahhh, if I could be half the mother Mother Bear is!

I want to be more like Mother Bear. Today I danced in the kitchen, jumped on crunchy plastic w/ my boys, baked rolls, ate candy, sang Feliz Navidad realy LOUD, Let them play/make messes, played pretend & laughed LOTS. Dang, I'm pretty good... at least today I was good.
I never got your card out. My last yr. address list was missing and I was to lazy/busy (it is possible to be both, right?) to email everyone for a current address. I'm sure everyone gets enough of me on fb and my blog.
Merry Christmas!
