“Like the decor that my Mom hangs in our kitchen says: Relax. Smile. Laugh. Love. Have fun.” I think I have same exact print as your mom in my house. Great read!
Every Saturday musing triggers thoughts to slow down and quash the urge to ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING! Perhaps my finest accomplishment resides within. Thank you, Tommy, for providing alternate avenues to myself.
I think is takes courage to “dig deep” within ourselves and realize who we are as individuals and what character traits we are made of!!! Valuable insight into knowing yourself Tommy!!!
Oh, and I clearly recall Tommy in Grade 1 at the age of seven being assigned his first project ever (topic…a valuable community member). You came home from school and headed directly to that dining room table to hunker down on researching, writing, re-writing, illustrating and practicing the oral presentation component. You’d only put it aside once you felt you had completed quality work and were as best prepared as possible. And again, the due date was a good two weeks away! The dedication and seriousness of work has never escaped your grip, Tommy!!!
“I'd be assigned a school project, maybe a presentation on Ancient Egypt, and I'd race home, pull up a big wooden chair to our dining room table, drop my pile of library books I'd gathered, and get to work reading about mummies and pharaohs.”
Wow, Tommy what a beautiful story that shows who you are. Never let anyone tell you that’s a weakness. What an amazing trait of yours!!

Something many of us can lack.
Most proud of you for this…Mum
