To Caitlin, Inspiration to Humor

This is you, my precious daughter, in one of your joyful moods.

You were dressed for Wacky-Tacky Day at your high school.

This image shows one side of a multi-faceted personality.

What can you teach me?

There’s a time and a place for intensity as well as humor.

A balanced individual will incorporate many aspects of life:

music, sports, academics, spirituality, and domestic skills.

We must incorporate both seriousness and humor into all of these.

Thank you for showing me I am not only a serious person.

Now, I embrace all aspects of myself.

I am not just a responsible mom.

“Me” also includes an inner child to be nurtured.

Conclusion

I like myself here.

I like myself there.

I like myself everywhere.

As a mom

Reading a psalm

Watching a sitcom

Thanks, my sweet daughter!
