Like the author of the article I'm posting the link to below, I tend to be too wordy at times. (Who? Me?). It's always been my nature. Oftentimes this little trait will cause me trouble.
I may use 127 words when actually 3 would do and confusion sets in with the party I'm attempting to communicate with. Shocking.
But the mom below (www.handsfreemama.com) said it best.
When we are trying to let our kids (or someone else) know how we feel, it doesn't always take a dissertation to relay the sentiment. We aren't always called to teach a lesson or guide a path. Sometimes we just need to say a few, albeit, monumental words.
Ben and Shelby...
I love to be with you.
I love hearing you laugh.
I love hearing you argue with each other.
I love knowing you will be there when I walk in at the end of a long day.
I love knowing you count on me.
I love more about you than you will ever know or I could ever put in a list.
I love you.

Thank you to my friend Anna for bringing this wonderful blog to my attention. :) Sometimes it's the little things you do, like posting a blog link on your Facebook page, that turns someones day around. Sometimes we never know the impact we have on others. Well Anna...consider me 'impacted'!
