Comments on: I Am Thankful for Kids Coming Home http://onlinegratitudejournal.com/i-am-thankful-for-kids-coming-home/ --- a Life of Gratitude and Grins Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:56:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Maya http://onlinegratitudejournal.com/i-am-thankful-for-kids-coming-home/comment-page-1/#comment-254 Maya Wed, 23 Dec 2009 00:51:02 +0000 http://onlinegratitudejournal.com/?p=1304#comment-254 Niels, You make me smile. An ocean apart and so much in common. The world is growing smaller and smaller. I have to tell you that one of the best parts about aging for me has been learning the "common sense" stuff. I am still amazed at how much analysis I can put into what others call the simplest things. By the way, both my boys are terrific cooks. In our little world we can't worry about gender. Whoever figures it out first does it. If he or she does it well, he shares the knowledge. Make the holidays special. Enjoy. Peace. And, may the sun shine soon. Niels,

You make me smile. An ocean apart and so much in common. The world is growing smaller and smaller.

I have to tell you that one of the best parts about aging for me has been learning the “common sense” stuff. I am still amazed at how much analysis I can put into what others call the simplest things.

By the way, both my boys are terrific cooks. In our little world we can’t worry about gender. Whoever figures it out first does it. If he or she does it well, he shares the knowledge.

Make the holidays special. Enjoy. Peace. And, may the sun shine soon.
