Dear Sticks

Dear Sticks,

Thanks for being such a great source of amusement for the two boys in the back yard. Who needs a computer or TV when there are big sticks to throw and pole-vault with…

A grateful mom.

Dear Snow,

Thank you for making this sunny day even brighter. Even though we are ready for spring, doubling the shiny goodness of a day off from school for the kids is an unexpected delight.

Happy you’re here, Wanda

Dear West Wing,

Thank you for providing the escape I have needed the past few nights. It’s been a while and I am happy to have returned to your smart, witty and addictive world. Now if I could only go to bed after watching only one episode…

Dear sense of humour,

Thank you for having permanent residence within my mom. Despite pain, frustration, exhaustion, and discouragement, you keep on shining through! You are a gift and I am thankful that it has been passed down to me as well!

You are a welcome member of the family, Wanda

Dear Airplanes,

Thank you for getting me to my destination safely. I don’t like flying any more and arriving here alive and in one piece makes me a happy camper. Thanks for the lift – and I’m already looking forward to the flights home.

Wanda  (Just please don’t start doing donuts now that we’ve tried the e-brake trick…)

Dear Children,

Thank you for playing so well together today and for making the cutest snowman EVER! I am crazy about snowmen and this one makes me smile and giggle and laugh out loud.

I sure love you guys, Mommy

And yes, I will watch my step in the backyard…no unauthorized personnel to go near the fort – GOT IT!

Dear engineers,

Thank you for bringing laughter. It is joyful to watch you build your snow fort, tunnel under, and feel your disappointment as the arch collapsed. Ah, the wonder of boys at play.

Bless your determined little hearts! Wanda

Dear Patience,

Thank you for being a close companion. There are times I feel like you have run out on me, but just when I need you most you come back. Thanks, too for holding my tongue – it has kept me out of many a trouble these past days.

Love, Wanda

Dear Publisher,

Thank you for sending me the book I requested to review. I know my site is still small, but it is growing. Your willingness to share means a lot. I hope this is the start of a long relationship.

Dear Books,

Thank you for being so irresistible! Because I am so drawn to you, I now have a job in the largest public library system in North America. They are going to pay me to spend time with you!

Doesn’t get much better than that.  Wanda
