Another day in the life of rain

In the night owl hours while loading the dishwasher some thoughts
entered my mind.
So I logged on here had to retrieve password since haven't been on here
for awhile.
My question for everyone is "Do you think something that makes you happy would
make someone else happy?"

Because for me little things make me very happy.
When my son was born Fred sure got me flowers but he
also got me a plant.
The reason is plants live longer and its a reminder to me
everytime I water it of the love of he and I.

Yesterday I had to take one of these plants outside since ants have invaded my beloved
plant.It made me think this plant has been through alot since I got it long ago.
This specific plant when it gets to high(tall)
it begins to fall if not against windowsill or something
to hold it up.Ive tried using straws and chopsticks but next
I think I will have to use a hangar.But from the ones that do break,
I put in water till it gets a root and plant in soil.

So this small tiny plant Fred got me is now 4 or 5 plants.It just
shows me how something beautiful can come
from something so small.
I am just so surprised this little plant has lived this long
after being broken away from the plant it came from originally
to grow on its own beautifully.

But while loading the dishwasher tonight in which
I normally wash them by hand 85 percent of the time.
I thought would a bunch of the same plant if different little pots
make someone else happy?

Would what makes me happy make
someone else happy?
What do you think?


Earlier today it was a beautiful day outside.
My son and I were outside blowing bubbles and
he was playing.I had the music playing.
Then when the kids get off the school bus
My son waves at them and they just walk on by
I think it hurt me more then it hurt him to witness
this.
It makes me wonder did this thought
ever cross my mother's mind?
Did my mother see this happen to?

I wish she could tell me but she is unable to speak
It just was sad to watch the expression of him happy to see
the bus unload of kids and no one want to say hi to him.
But the younger elementary bus load of kids the ones that go through my yard
the girls that say hello to me,always say hi Gary and hug him
and that is truly nice of them.Four buses let off in front of my yard,so
this happens everyday.But thank god for those
kind little girls who are kind to my son.

The other day Fred and I read a devotional together
and it still with me even right now about Ocipherous in
the bible.How he visisted Paul in prison and helped others.
To be only mentioned once in the bible yet bring joy to Paul.
I just love it.

I just thank you Lord for everything
For my beautiful plant in many pots
For the wonderful parents online I am so lucky to talk to
and lord for you being a part of our lives
thank you lord

Another day in the life of rain starts with more laundry tommorow and
prayers for others
