Wishing Days.

My mothers Birthday is April 16th and mine is April 18th. As a child I would wish my mothers Birthday away to get to mine. So much to the point, that we all were given unBirthday gifts on each others Birthdays. My children's Birthdays are 11 days a part. My younger daughter true to form of who I was as a child has counted down the days to her older sisters Birthday adding that then it is so many days to hers. I think this is rather funny bringing back memories of me as a child My brothers Birthday would come March 30th then lets get rid of mum's and then yeah mine.Isn't it funny how in life we wish days away to get to a certain day, missing little gems along the way. Today a child wanted to see me I was busy. But as soon as I could I looked to see if they were still there and went over and hugged her picking her up and making her feel important. To some a small thing but to her everything.
I don't wish for My mum's Birthday to go any more in fact I am thankful each year that she is alive. But I often wish other days to go and some times I just miss out. It is in those moments that we might find small gems like hugging a child making someone smile and even laughing or crying a tear. My youngest daughter is a true gem and her sister too. They may wish days away now but as they look back they may hold onto them for a life time.
Please have a cup of tea with me today.
