daughter

Leaving the gym last night, this guy stops me n says, “Are you Miss Delk?”

I said, “Yes”

He said, “You are one beautiful lady”
(And no other reason cuz he just walked off n got in his truck)

No matter who they are, girls always love to be told they are pretty or beautiful.

Most girls are very critical of their self, and usually worse than anyone else could be to them….

Lift them up, tell them they are pretty, they are loved, they are beautiful, you can’t wait to see them.

(Men that goes for your daughters as well, you want to show them how a man should treat them,

looking at them respectfully, but noticing their beauty)

Funny…..(not really, but truth)….

How life can *hit* you *so much*…..

I have always been a *work-a-holic* — I am sure always will lol. My life is pretty scheduled, 7am-midnight almost every day. But, the last few years, with *so many* major and significant losses in my life….

Feb 2013 – husband of 20 years

July 2013 – My Grandpa (dad’s dad)

July 2013 – Our 13 year old Boxer “Bullet* family dog)

2014 – My Father in Law (who we took care of in our garage apt for many years)

2015 – oldest daughter diagnosed w cancer (she won! thank the Lord, and now healthy)

Mar 2016 – My Mom.

And through that – other close friends and family lost or major *issues*- has the reality of the *take care and spend time with those you love, and TELL them you love them, cuz you never know when you will get to again…..even friends….

And then also, even myself….for many years I lived for doing *for* everyone else, and I still do, and I think it is important, but I have also learned, and been hit w the reality, of not being someone’s wife, and kids getting older, not that I won’t always be their mom, but they need me *less* — of *who is Laurie, and what does *she* want and what is she *here for*?

Reflection can be a good thing…..do it…..and figure out what your plans are for the rest of your *dash* here on this earth, and what you are doing for you, and what you are doing for others, and what difference you are going to make in the world and the lives of others. <3
