As the winter days pass us by, I find myself doing a lot more reflecting on who I was/am as a person. I can't say that I have been the best at anything, nor the worst. I know I am not perfect, but I am defenitely happier with who I am as I have come to accept my faults and idosyncrasies. And, everyday, I chip at "becoming a better person."
Art is still in my life!
At the end of the day, I, along with the help of others and some tinkerbell powder. create my own destiny.
As I get older, crazier, more absent minded and wiser, it is amazing to watch Cole and Parker steal my thunder! They are the most adorable, loving and respectuful kids. Mark and I are so greatful to have the opportunity to raise them.
For them, there is nothing that I will not do for them. As long as they are respectful, giving and non-jusgemental. Most impoartant, that they love each other as best friends do. It is the simple rules that my mom gave me that I wish to pass on.
It brings tears to my eays when ever I hear them say that they are each others best friend. I never had a best friend growing up, and had always longed for one. So, in a sense, it is great to see a huge void from childhood being filled with these two boys.
Anyway, Holidays have meaning to me now. And the word family, gives me a better understanding of where I fit in this world. It's just a shame that as much as it has helped me learn from my past, our government can't see the power of giving people equal human rights.

The boys are beautiful = just like their dads. I have been waiting for a picture of them for weeks. I know you are too sexy but was ready for a different post. Just want to say hi and tell you that I love you and miss you and wish you and your beautiful family a wonderful Christmas. Love you - Kathy - your old (and I mean old in years, not in age - right?) boss from the library.
