…that sometimes, no matter how old we are, we just need someone to kiss our ow-ies, snuggle, and make it all better. Today I want to remember that really this is all my kids want from me.
I’m joining in with a group of women and their beautiful blogs this week for a daily “I’m thinkin'” theme. Hooray for new friends!
Check out the other ladies’ thoughts for today:

Aww thanks for the reminder. This is so sweet. Love the light and the processing.
Such a good thing to be reminded of. We all want that.
I think you must be a very good mother J. 🙂 Sometimes I have to remind myself to stop and hold them when they get hurt. My pain tolerance level is really high so I tend to just brush off their ouchies. Gotta stop and give them so love. 🙂
so sweet. so true.
beautiful tender moment you captured.
wise words…
I totally agree with what Tracey said. Sometimes I just say, “You’re okay, shake it off.” They need that love from us. Thank you for the reminder. And the lovely photo!
Amen Sister!
I agree with Tracey too, but sometimes it’s not a physical owie, sometimes it’s an emotional meltdown, which is harder to be patient about; but it’s important to stop and hold and hug. I sat with my 6-year-old Monday night as he cried for an hour over something. sigh.
It amazes me how my kids turn to be for a little kiss or caress after even the littlest of scraps and falls. Hope she’s all better.
So true. Love the image and your words. Nicely done!
Why is it so easy to forget sometimes? Today has been one of those days that I find myself clenching my teeth and getting irritated at the smallest things. I just need to remember, love is all he wants… even though what he’s usually saying he wants is a cookie, or candy, or something from the top of the refrigerator that I’ve taken away from him, the list goes on and on! lol. Thank goodness each day is a brand new start, because this one sure doesn’t make it to the top of the Awesome Mommy days.
Love the photo too by the way.:)
LOVE the composition! The sunlight on her face…the processing… just beautiful!
