Today is my girl’s 8th birthday – how did that happen?
It seems now that with each month we become closer; we fight hard too – I’ve come to realise that I also had/have her amazing spirit and can see that we are quite alike, and we love each other utterly. It will be interesting to see the adult that can result from being so loved, having the self-confidence that such love can surely engender.
My Daisy looks at me askew when I say she can do anything. One part of her brain considering how to manipulate that statement for immediate gain, another wondering what on earth I’m on about because of course she can. This is a child who not only believes in fairies but visits them nightly in fairy land. Oh the imagination (or who am I to say different – this adult who cannot recall a belief in fairies).
So what am I wittering on about in this self-indulgent post? Well for one thing I have promised myself the time for posting here on Brazen Pollyanna at least once a week now. I often think about it but it is a luxury – it’s time to give myself that luxury – I deserve it. My girl’s birthday seems an apt time to get started again.
And Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows? Our favourite song… Enjoy
