If you think about it, how often do we remember the wonderful things that come our way every day? It sounds like you were so close to your dad, as I was close to mine. My dad passed away over 20 years ago, and he is in my heart every day. I'm so thankful for your dad and mom, as they raised such a beautiful daughter.<br />~Sheri at Red Rose AlleyRed Rose Alleyhttp://redrosealley.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273254044244288165.post-64935394682115665332012-01-15T13:41:59.563-08:002012-01-15T13:41:59.563-08:00What a beautiful concept in the game your father p...What a beautiful concept in the game your father played with you! I would love to do that with my future children (or current students)! Being able to notice the details in life is such a valuable skill, and is something I continue to work on in myself. Thank you, as always, for your inspiration!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687307236348563402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273254044244288165.post-348478374365661892012-01-15T09:50:23.311-08:002012-01-15T09:50:23.311-08:00Oh I love Eudora Welty; her writings were among th...Oh I love Eudora Welty; her writings were among the first in my repertoire of reading material in college!

I'm glad you enjoyed the poem I post...Hi Karen,<br />I'm glad you enjoyed the poem I posted by Kay Ryan. The game your dad used to play with you was very different from my upbringing. My mom, a very devout Catholic when I was growing up, always reminded us children that when we walk we should do so with heads bowed looking at the ground. At least three things were to be gleaned from this. 1. Cultivation of humility (head bowed). 2. The habit of looking where we're planting our feet -- i.e., the path we take. 3. Luck or fortune. With eyes everywhere but where you're going you could walk right over some money (which God has put?) at your feet. I concede some wisdom in my childhood teaching, but it took me years to break this habit and walk with my head up to really see and appreciate what is around me, not caring if I walked over a losy dime or quarter. <br /><br />All the best<br />RubenRattus Scribushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03504345408685635451noreply@blogger.com
