My grandaughter Leah sent me this quote today. Leah shares something in common with all my granddaughter; she is both beautiful and intelligent. I really lucked out when it comes to grandchildren and I am so grateful for that. Linda, my eldest daughter was at my daughters home, where I live, when 3 of my granddaughters were there visiting. I went up to my room for something and Linda heard one of the girls say "Hey, we are missing out on Grandma time". Linda told me later that she really hoped she could have that relationship with her grandchildren, I hope she can too, because it is beyond wonderful.
What your quote means to me Leah, is that it is the journey that counts, sometimes more than the destination.
How wise you are to recognize this already, it took me much longer. I have heard so many women say "I will be happy when I finish school, I will be happy when I have a good job, I will be happy when I meet the right man and have children, etc etc. When I hear that what I really hear is "I won't be happy until then".
I remember when you and your sisters went to Disneyland with your dad and Sheila, I hope that you enjoyed the journey there as well as the Disneyland experience, which I know you all enjoyed. You definately are the granddaughter of my spirit and I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished and continue to accomplish. Enjoy it all Leah, not just the end results but the entire experience. Evening Thoughts
