Quote of the Day

Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience. ~ Mother Teresa

what not to say

. . . both burst into tears . . .

I have no idea what I have said on previous departures, maybe "get in the car now" or "let's go". Today we were all cheerful and dressed and ready to go. As I was stepping out the door, Dandy asked something from another room. I couldn't hear him exactly. "Mama's leaving!" I called out, expecting them to follow. Nope. Couldn't follow 'cause they had both burst into tears! WOW! I won't be using that wording again.

I asked them if they thought I was leaving them home alone. No, they didn't think that. They didn't know why they were crying. I asked them if the words just sounded sad. Yup. That's it.
