Words of Wisdom from Alyssa

So much to tell... so little time. I haven't had a chance to write about our Tillicum Village experience. There was no way I was going to sit inside on Friday to write about it! It was way too nice outside. So, Instead I left work about an hour early and met up with my sister (who just got into town from Kettle Falls) and some friends. There's so much to tell about the whole weekend, but it will all have to wait.

I did want to share Alyssa's latest bathroom crayon message. This morning I went into the bathroom after her shower and got annoyed at the mess of clothes she had left on the floor and the fact that she didn't close the shower curtain. When I looked up to close it, I noticed another note, which said: "It is important to chose your own lifestyle and not let others chose it for you... love Alyssa" I couldn't believe my eyes!! It's amazing the things we can learn from children. I asked her where she got it from. She said it was in the book I had gotten her for Valentine's Day. It's a book of poems from a mother to a daughter. I am so glad that she's taking the time to read it, learn it and clearly live by it.
