last sunday we suprised my nanny for her 74th birthday....we all showed up at her rehab place and waited for the nurse to bring her in...unfortunatly she saw brock thru the window as he went to the car for something, but she still cried as they wheeled her in. she said in 74 years it was her first suprise party...she is a great lady who was lived alot of heartache and we all admire her for her love for each of us...i tell her she has another 20 good years left, but she rolls her eyes and puffs at me as if the thought wears her out...as i watch her, i hope for her honesty and generous heart (she never lets us leave without sending us home with something-usually canned goods...?? if you ever eat canned potatoes when you come to our house, you'll now know where they came from :) what i've also learned is that bitterness inside of you never goes away unless you choose forgiveness...after years of an unfaithful husband who abandoned her many times, unfortunatly she is still resentful...i think we all could find many reasons to feel wronged or taken advantage of, but one important thing that i've learned in my young life is to let it go. when i'm 74, i hope my attitude will be grateful and my outlook will be hopeful...there are many challenges ahead, i know, but with God's grace, i hope to face them with a happy heart.
