I totally agree with you. We see so much anger and hate and ugly, vile things on the news and in the world that it can really depress you. But when I look in my babies eyes, I know everything is right in MY world. They're so therapeutic for me. If I'm sad or depressed, they lift my spirits and make me laugh at myself.
Jim said the best money we ever spent was in buying our babies. He loves them all but Tia has a special place in his heart -- he always says she is Katie reincarnated.
Codie, Tia and Cali have helped me become a better person. They have taught me not only love, but
unconditional love. They have shown me patience when I was in a rush and forgiveness when I'm angry and unrelenting. I only wish they could understand me when I say THANK YOU to them. I guess my hugs and kisses to them are thanks enough.
From them I've also learned that their dark, expression filled eyes are the window to their souls. The are grace and beauty in one.
For some people, money makes them happy. For others, maybe it's their career. For me, it's my hubby, Codie, Tia and Cali.
