Vitamins

What a way to start the day - I drop off the "princesses" at respective schools then drive 3km to Fish Hoek beach, and well there it is, my vitamin for the day. The sunrise is always different and so is the sea but it is always magnificent and God, you just blow me away!! Thank you!!

Talor has a really busy Wed which now includes Hope and me as we venture to drop her and Kerin at Rythmic Gymnastics for an hour( the compulsory after school sport) and then a mad grab and dash, dress in car scenario to be at ballet ten minutes later. Us Mom's and siblings were frazzled to say the least but the girls just giggled and laughed there way through it all.

Already their very gentle, sweet young ballet teacher has told them she wants them to do an exam at the end of the year!? They are so excited especially as they had on all the new gear, shoes, stockings hair accecories etc. and did endless points and twirls. Hope is just not impressed as she too wants all the gear!

Then tonight it was off to "greet and meet" the teacher and see her classroom and listen to stuff we actually know. It was fun and I am so proud of Talor and how well and happy she is. I just love the way Gavin Kellar is so upbeat and stressed the importance of celebrating your child and having fun with them. may we NEVER become too serious or push them too hard.

I feel like that guy - "Doogie Howser" a T.V. programme years ago I used to watch. At the end of each program, or day he used to sit in his room and journal his thoughts. I remember thinking - man I want to do that - and here I am however many years later doing just that. Fantastic!!

Things that make me smile...

the smell of the ocean

the smell of a cappacino

clean sink

Today I am grateful for...

an opportunity to travel

laughter

sand stuck to my toes
