Things money can't buy:
- Family
- Safety
- Wisdom & knowledge
- Respect & self respect
- Health
- Peace
- Determination
- Grace
- Nice singing voice (unplugged, that is)
- Friendship
- Joy
- Virtuosity
- Creativity
- Patience
I know that money could get you close to a lot of these things,
but it could never make them yours.
Just something to think about. It makes me want to make up a checklist.
Today, Lucy has been playing with two of her cousins - Lia and David. She loves having cousins come to play. I love having cousins come to play. Having other people--kids or otherwise--around is great for Lucy and me. It mixes it up for both of us and gives us a little jump start. Plus--as easy as one child may be when compared to multiples, people may forget that an only child's caregiver also inevitably becomes his or her primary playmate. THis is lots of fun, but leaves little time to do much else.
We had a great time. Thanks, David and Lia!
