The Wolfe Den

"Today I Choose Joy" & "Keep Calm"  I did not pay much attention to their mask messages until I glanced at this picture tonight. Fitting for their personalities and a fitting message for those that are negative and spiteful about current events.  At 11 and 7 they have not complained about wearing these things. Not once have they whined about any of this mess. From NTI to quarantine to masks to school uncertainty and so on, they have kept calm and found joy in all things. If ANYONE has a right to complain, it is our kids, and they have not.  This is going to be printed and will be the way I, and I hope the girls, will remember the experience.  **they are at the entrance of an amusement park. They wear these things on rollercoasters. Today was mild, but they have done it even in sweltering 90 degree heat...no complaints.**

The below started as a Facebook post, but it became too long. So I put it here..... Loss makes you reflect. Time makes you forget. The last few days has polished up my perspective. Below you will see my jumbled thoughts over the last few days.  1. Always say I LOVE YOU and give that hug. Even if you are angry or disgruntled.  2. Offenses. Judgements. Assumptions. Hang ups. Passive Aggressive cat and mouse games so many seem to enjoy. None of that bullshit matters when you are gone. Forgive, Sincerely. Reconcile, Sincerely. Make peace. If you don't, you will regret it. Trust me, I have seen this rip people apart so deeply. 3. Be there. Everyday someone needs you. Be there. It can be big or small. Be there. Our purpose is to love one another and love our neighbor as ourself. You can only do that by being there. And sometimes, that means going back to number 2 on this list.  4. You matter. Your life. Your story. You and all your quirks. You and all the good and bad stuff...
