the silver lining we get to choose to be
I stubbed my toe on a wooden baseball bat. A baseball bat most decidedly NOT placed in its proper home.
It hurt, but I wasn’t angry about it.
The Stuff of Childhood isn’t so annoying.
I am a Changed Human.
My daughter says that the silver lining in all this mess is me.
I’m her Silver Lining.
I don’t know how long I get to be seen like that by my daughter.
So today I celebrate that.
Today my heart rejoices and I decide that Grateful is my choice.

I’m with your daughter. I see so much beauty and joy radiating from and through you. I see God shining so brightly. I would do anything in the world to take away the Pain and the Hard and the Ugly. I wish you didn’t have that plate in your life right now. But I love your honesty and real-ness and I love the Joy and Gratefulness that God is giving you.
