It's a New Day

I woke up unnaturally early this morning, at 4:25am with no alarm clock. Since I was meeting Janet at 5:30 I figured, what the heck, I'll get up anyway. I made a cup of coffee in the Keurig for a quick fix and a pot for later. When I went outside the sky was getting light, the birds were wide awake, it wasn't too cold, it was, a perfect new day.

On Bella's first day of First Grade we had the following conversation when she got off the bus:

Bella: "I was on the behavior chart today."
Me: "Really? Already? Why?!"
Bella
: "Because I was talking too much and not listening enough."
Me: "Oh...that's too bad."
Bella
: "It's no big deal, Mommy. Tomorrow is another day and I get to start all over again."

I most certainly didn't teach her that. She was SIX! But she figured it out. I told both her teacher and the principal about that conversation. THEY were impressed. I still tell that story; I think it defines my girl to a T.

 Bella still is chatty. I cannot, for the life of me, fathom where she gets that from. I texted this to Bella the minute I saw it. She laughed because she knows herself very well.

Bella lives by these principles she came into the world with. She is a shining example of how every day is a new day. I learned a huge lesson that day, from a very little girl, with a very impressive grasp of life.

Let's all follow her lead today, shall we?
Because we all need a little Nina Simone now and again.

AMY UPDATE: There is no rest for the weary, people. As of ten seconds ago via text, Amy has a mass of fluid on her chest above where they cut her sternum. The hope is that it is NOT an infection, otherwise, they have to go back to surgery and drain it. REALLY? Seriously?! You are well versed in the drill. Let's make that fluid disappear so Amy can get home. Pleaseandthankyouverymuch.
