Lessons my kids have taught me #3

Sometimes my kids don't give a bugger (that's kiwi speak for (amongst other things) not caring what others think about you).

I like the way they are confident about who they are.

Sometimes I can be too concerned about how I think others might view me (especially the PlayStation tan look at the pool), but I try to learn from my kids & not care what I look like.

Lessons my kids have taught me #2

“Be what you are. Give what is yours to give. Have style. Dare.”
Stanley Kunitz (1905 – 2006) American poet

This Christmas my youngest son gave the family gifts. I was most impressed with mine. It was a booklet containing 4 shoulder massage vouchers.

Rather than spending money on stuff I didn't need, he used his skills to develop a unique gift that he knew would be appreciated.

He taught me the best gifts are not usually the ones bought from stores.
