The baby is finding her groove. She seems to like folksy funky stuff. She is such a cool human being. She was working on jewelry this morning. Said she was going to start an Etsy business (if that is the correct spelling). She is good at putting together outfits from the thrift store. So she can be a personal shopper – poet – artist – jewelry maker – vet – travel blogger – and folk singer. It is a big world and she can make her’s like she wants. She is most Groovy! 🙂
There is nothing quite like a father who loves his daughter(s). I had one of my own, which is how and why I know this. Good fathers, who genuinely care to make an emotional connection, who accept their girls’ uniqueness, and who embrace all their efforts however unrelated they may be to the imagined goals they long to see realized in their lives, set the stage for their daughters’ own capacity for loving men. You, by all indications, seem to be one of these men. Thank you for your attentive nature, PG. We can feel it! p.s. and, thank you for spending time to read me, too. RAS
I enjoy your work. Thats why I come back. 🙂
Well, thank you. It’s nice to know that.
It’s great to know there are such wonderful relationships, and I’m not surprised at all that you’re part of one!
She is a delight
Been looking at the picture again. There’s a heart beat in the picture. Was that intentional? I mean the moon and the sun provide the heart beat of this world. ❓
I will ask her
I still think it should be on a t-shirt with some gold lame here and there on it. It’s very folksy!
Your baby sounds like one of my babies who is now 18! Likes the same stuff! I love your encouragement here. Feel the same way. 🙂
She and her brothers are delights and a reminder that I did a couple things right. Mainly staying out of the way and teaching them to clean toilets and cook. They need to be able to feed me when I’m old. 🙂
Ha! You’re so right! Mine have mastered mac ‘n cheese and brownies from a box, so I guess that’s what I have to look forward to!
I am glad that you are stopping by.
Well thank you!
Groovy raised, groovy be! You are among my inspirations for parenting, my friend 🙂
I think out job is to help them find what turns them on, what they are good at, and lights them up. Then they will shape rather than be shaped by the world. I tell my kids that they will discover god and themselves or the border of what feels weird and a little crazy. But maybe that is because their daddy is a little weird and crazy. 🙂
So well said, my friend! From another weird and crazy parent 🙂
My baby is about to be 16. She wants an old pick-up to drive. 🙂
{{{Crazy Plato!}}} You’re a peach of a daddy!
just looooooove how you see and express things…
Hey girl. 🙂
